A point of agitation; a focal point or location where agitation or protest is concentrated or organized.
From German 'Agit(ation)punkt' (agitation point), combining 'Agitation' (from Latin agitatio) with German 'Punkt' (point, from Latin punctum). This German-origin term appears in some political and sociological texts, particularly those translated from German.
Agitpunkt is rarely used in English but shows how different languages developed their own political vocabulary—German, with its love of compound words, created this term where English speakers would say 'point of agitation' or 'flashpoint.'
