How it's used

Refers specifically to a physical location or a conceptual beginning of a process. It is frequently used in contexts like races, hiking trails, or project timelines. Unlike the more abstract 開頭, which often describes the beginning of a story or a period of time, 起點 emphasizes the exact point of departure.

Common mistake

Avoid using it to mean the beginning of a time period, as it is strictly for locations or abstract points of origin. Use 開頭 or 開始 when referring to the start of an event or a sequence of time.
