Bipunctual

/baɪˈpʌŋtʃuəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by two points in space or time; having the nature or quality of two distinct points.

Etymology

From bi- (two) + punctual (from Latin punctualis, relating to a point). This is a rare philosophical or mathematical term for discussing things defined by duality of points.

Kelly Says

While incredibly rare, 'bipunctual' appears in philosophical texts to describe how two specific points can define a line or relationship—it's the kind of ultra-precise word philosophers love even though most people would just say 'between two points'.
