Breakpoint

Screen width where a layout changes (e.g., 768px).

In more detail

What It Means

A breakpoint is the exact width at which a responsive layout switches from one arrangement to another, such as a navigation menu collapsing into an icon. Modern CSS can also set breakpoints on a container's own width instead of the browser window.
