spots
Sees or blemishes
Spots are small marks or areas that differ from their surroundings—a leopard's spots, spots of paint on a floor, a spot of blood.
A spot is also a location: This is the spot where we first met.
To spot something is to notice it: I spotted her in the crowd.
To spot someone is to lend them something small: Can you spot me twenty bucks?
In gymnastics and weightlifting, to spot is to stand ready to catch someone if they fall.
On the spot means immediately or in a difficult position.
