- didot point — (unit, text) A variant of the point, equal to 0.3759 mm, or 1/72 of a French Royal inch (27.07 mm), or about 1/68 inch. Didot points are used in Europe. This unit is named after the French printer François Ambroise Didot (1730 - 1804) who defined the "point-based" typographical measurement system.
- dummy joint — a slot cut into a concrete slab to prevent serious fractures.
- elbow joint — the joint between the upper arm and the forearm, formed by the junction of the radius and ulna with the humerus
- extra point — conversion (sense 3)
- facet joint — any of the four projections that link one vertebra of the spine to an adjacent vertebra.
- fesse point — the midpoint of a shield
- fixed point — (mathematics) The fixed point of a function, f is any value, x for which f x = x. A function may have any number of fixed points from none (e.g. f x = x+1) to infinitely many (e.g. f x = x). The fixed point combinator, written as either "fix" or "Y" will return the fixed point of a function. See also least fixed point.
- fixed-point — (programming) A number representation scheme where a number, F is represented by an integer I such that F=I*R^-P, where R is the (assumed) radix of the representation and P is the (fixed) number of digits after the radix point. On computers with no floating-point unit, fixed-point calculations are significantly faster than floating-point as all the operations are basically integer operations. Fixed-point representation also has the advantage of having uniform density, i.e., the smallest resolvable difference of the representation is R^-P throughout the representable range, in contrast to floating-point representations. For example, in PL/I, FIXED data has both a precision and a scale-factor (P above). So a number declared as 'FIXED DECIMAL(7,2)' has a precision of seven and a scale-factor of two, indicating five integer and two fractional decimal digits. The smallest difference between numbers will be 0.01.
- flash point — Also, flashing point. Physical Chemistry. the lowest temperature at which a liquid in a specified apparatus will give off sufficient vapor to ignite momentarily on application of a flame.
- focal point — Also called principal focus. Optics. either of two points on the axis of a mirror, lens, or other optical system, one point being such that rays diverging from it are deviated parallel to the axis upon refraction or reflection by the system and the other point being such that rays parallel to the axis of the system converge to the point upon refraction or reflection by the system.
- frost point — the temperature of the air at which hoarfrost begins to form.
- grade point — Education. a numerical equivalent to a received letter grade, usually 0 for F, 1 for D, 2 for C, 3 for B, and 4 for A, that is multiplied by the number of credits for the course: used to compute a grade point average.
- hinge joint — ginglymus.
- hollowpoint — Alternative form of hollow point.
- ideal point — the point at infinity in projective geometry at which parallel lines intersect.

- mitre joint — a corner joint formed between two pieces of material, esp wood, by cutting bevels of equal angles at the ends of each piece
- needlepoint — embroidery upon canvas, usually with uniform spacing of stitches in a pattern.
- nodal point — either of two points on the axis of a lens or other optical system, determined by extending an incident oblique ray and the corresponding refracted ray to the axis for the pair of rays that are parallel outside the optical system.

- panel point — a joint between two or more members of a truss.
- pedal point — a sustained bass note, over which the other parts move bringing about changing harmonies
