Any point not belonging to a channel.

Nonchannel points are points that are not located on the channels or vessels. They are named in English by alphanumeric codes indicating the parts of the body on which they are located, e.g., M-HN-9, where HN means head and neck; M-BW-1, where BW means back and waist (i.e., back and lumbus); M-CA-18, where CA means chest and abdomen.

Etymology

Chinese: 经 jīng, channel; 外 wài, outside; 奇 qí, extraordinary; 穴 xué, hole, cave, acupuncture point.
