see the point

Finally get it

To see the point is to understand the purpose or relevance of something: I finally see the point of all that preparation.

Often used in the negative when something seems worthless or unclear: I don't see the point of arguing about it.

The point is the essential meaning or significance—seeing it means grasping why something matters.
