視点
してん · shiten · JLPT N3 · noun
point of view
👀 視点 = look (視) + point (点): the point you look from
視 means to look or regard, as in 視力 (eyesight). 点 means point or dot, as in 点数 (score). Together they mean the point you see things from, so the word covers both a literal viewpoint and a person's opinion.
点 — fire radical 灬 + 占 (zhān, phonetic)
Originally written 點, a semantic-phonetic compound: 黑 (black) gave the meaning 'small black mark or dot' while 占 supplied the sound. It first referred to ink spots, then extended to 'point, drop, a little,' and verbs like 'to mark' or 'to light (a fire),' reflected in the simplified form's 灬 (fire) component.
