Quadripoint
A
quadripoint
is a point on the Earth that touches the
border
of four distinct territories. The term has never been in common use — it may not have been used before 1964 when it was possibly invented by the Office of the Geographer of the
United States Department of State
. The word does not appear in the
Oxford English Dictionary
or
Merriam-Webster Online
dictionary, but it does appear in the
Encyclopædia Britannica
, as well as in the
World Factbook
articles on
Botswana
,
Namibia
,
Zambia
, and
Zimbabwe
, dating as far back as 1990.
