焦點(光學)
Hold a magnifying glass over a sheet of paper on a sunny day. Sunlight arrives spread out and flat, goes through the glass, and all of it crosses at one small bright spot. Nothing has been added — the same light is simply gathered into one place, and that place is where things happen. That spot is the focal point. Swap the light for people's eyes, or for what a whole discussion keeps coming back to, and you have the everyday use: the one place everything converges.
