anknytningspunkt

Anknytningspunkt is a Swedish noun meaning the point at which two elements are connected or attached. It is a compound of anknyta, to connect or attach, and punkt, point. The term is used across different domains to denote a site of connection, junction, or contact between parts, objects, or systems, sometimes with a more specific term preferred in a given field (for example fäste or infästning in anatomy, or anchor point in engineering).

In anatomy and medicine, anknytningspunkt can refer to a location where a structure attaches to another, such as where a muscle or ligament inserts into bone or connective tissue. The concept is used to describe sites of attachment that are important for movement, stability, or function.

In engineering and construction, it describes an anchor or mounting point where loads are transferred or components are fastened, such as attachment points on a frame or at a joint. The term is used to discuss how parts are joined and how forces are transmitted through a system.

In everyday language, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe a point of contact or connection between people or ideas, though more precise terms such as kontaktpunkt may be preferred in some contexts.
