有争议的问题, 争论点
a subject about which there are different opinions or disagreements
The idiom "moot point" originated from Old English, where "moot" referred to a formal assembly or meeting. Over time, the term evolved to signify a hypothetical or debatable point that is subject to discussion or dispute but has no practical consequence or relevance to the current situation. In modern usage, a "moot point" is often used to describe an issue or argument that is rendered irrelevant or academic because it no longer holds practical importance or is no longer applicable to the present circumstances.
