/ˌpəŋ(k)təm ˈseɪliənz/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin punctum saliens.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin punctum saliens (1610 or earlier) < classical Latin punctum (see point n.¹) + saliēns , present participle of salīre to leap (see salient adj.). Compare Aristotle Historia Animalium 561^a12 τοῦτο δὲ τὸ σημεῖον πηδᾷ καὶ κινεῖται ‘this sign leaps and moves’.With sense 1 compare salient point at salient adj. 3a. With sense 2 compare salient point at salient adj. 5b.

1. Biology. The first trace of the heart in an embryo, appearing as a pulsating point. Cf. salient point at salient adj. 3a. Now chiefly historical.
