noun
A neutral term for a perspective or standpoint from which something is considered.
別の看点から問題を考えてみよう。
Let's consider the problem from a different viewpoint.
観点 is the more common spelling for 'viewpoint' and is used in the same way. 看点 is a less frequent variant with the same meaning.
The kanji 看 means 'to watch' or 'to observe', and 点 means 'point'. Together they form a straightforward compound meaning 'viewpoint'.
