Etymology: "Highspots" is the plural of "highspot," a noun formed simply by joining "high" and "spot." Its literal sense is a high point or elevated place, and the modern figurative meaning, a standout moment or outstanding part of something, grows naturally from that spatial image: the spots that rise above the rest of the landscape are the ones that catch the eye. The plural form works the same way as any count noun, so the word simply refers to several such moments at once, as when someone lists the highspots of a season, a trip, or a performance.
