Something that points forward; a hunting dog that points or indicates game location by freezing in a forward stance.
From 'forepoint' or directly from 'fore-' (forward) and 'pointer' (from 'point,' meaning to indicate or mark). This term describes dogs bred to indicate prey location.
Pointer breeds like English Pointers developed an almost supernatural ability to sense birds—they'll freeze pointing at game they can barely smell, and hunters depend entirely on reading the dog's body to know where to look, making the dog a living hunting computer.
