the.com/spot

The place you'll lose your seat the instant you stand up.

means A particular place, point, or position — or a small round mark on a surface.

from From Old English (or possibly a related Middle Dutch or Low German source — the early forms overlap), where it first meant a small mark or stain. The sense of 'a particular place' grew naturally out of that: a spot on a map is just a mark on a larger surface, and from there 'spot' came to mean any location you could point to.
