keskpunktist

Keskpunktist is Estonian for “from the center point.” It is a form of the noun keskpunkt (center point) used to indicate origin, reference, or starting point in spatial, geometric, cartographic, and design contexts. The suffix -ist attaches to keskpunkt to express origin or point of departure, and it commonly appears in technical or formal language.

In usage, keskpunktist appears in phrases such as keskpunktist lähtudes, meaning “starting from the center point,” or keskpunktist mõõdetuna, meaning “measured from the center point.” It helps specify directions, measurements, or constructions relative to a central reference. The term is particularly common in geometry, computer graphics, architecture, and surveying, where clear reference to a center point is necessary for accuracy and consistency.

Etymology and related terms: keskpunktist is built from keskpunkt (center point) and the derivational suffix -ist, which signals origin or point of departure in formal Estonian. The base word keskpunkt combines kesk- (“center”) and punkt (“point”). Related terms include keskpunkt, keskpunkti (genitive form), and phrases like keskpunktist lähtudes or keskpunktist mõõdetuna, which all convey origin or reference to the center.
