Memory Hook
Imagine a blindfolded person trying to see a spot — they can't! 'Blind' + 'spot' = 盲点 (mouten, 'blind spot'). Think of 'mou' as 'more' you can't see, and 'ten' as a 'point' or spot.
Cultural Note
In Japanese, 『盲点』 (mouten, 'blind spot') is often used in driving contexts to refer to areas not visible in mirrors, but it can also metaphorically describe overlooked aspects in plans or arguments, similar to English usage.
