History

Etymology

From Middle English poynt, from Old French point m (“dot; minute amount”), from Latin pūnctum (“a hole punched in; a point, puncture”), substantive use of pūnctus m, perfect passive participle of pungō (“to prick, punch”); alternatively, from Old French pointe f (“sharp tip”), from Latin pūncta f (past participle), all from Proto-Italic *pungō (“to sting, prick”). Mostly displaced native Middle English ord (“point”), from Old English ord (“point”). Doublet of pointe, ponto, puncto, punctum, punt, and punto.

Short for West Point.

Probably an altered form of French Pons, see Ponce. It is also a variant of the English surname Points.

From Middle English pointen, poynten, from Old French pointier, pointer, poynter, from point from Latin pūnctum.

From Middle English pointen, poynten, by apheresis of apointen, appointen, appoynten. See appoint.
