on-point
Sharp and relevant
On-point means exactly right or perfectly suited to the situation.
The term comes from ballet, where dancing on point means balanced on the tips of the toes—precise and controlled.
Something on-point hits the mark: Her analysis was on-point, That outfit is on-point.
The hyphenated form functions as an adjective; without the hyphen, *on point* works the same way.
