Why does 地点 look like this?
'地' (dì) combines '土' (earth/soil) + '也' (originally a phonetic component, also suggesting a spreading expanse). Together, it means the ground or land. '点' (diǎn) combines '占' (divining/occupying a spot) + '灬' (fire/dots, representing small marks). Together, it means a specific point or spot. Joined together, they describe a 'land-point' or a specific location.
