also: まんてん
noun, na-adjective
countless points; myriad dots; interspersed in great numbers
Rare term. Describes a surface or scene dotted with many small things, or metaphorically many points (e.g., in a score). Often used in literary or descriptive contexts.
夜空に星が万点と輝いていた。
Countless stars were shining in the night sky.
万点の花が野原を彩る。
Myriad flowers color the field.
満点 means 'perfect score' or 'full marks', while 万点 refers to a large number of points or dots, not a perfect score.
Compound of 万 (ten thousand, myriad) and 点 (point, dot). The reading ばんてん uses the on'yomi of 万 (ばん), while まんてん is a less common variant reading.
