Put finger on

put one's finger on something


1. Lit. to touch something with one's finger. I put my finger on the button and pressed. Put your finger on this spot and push hard.

2. Fig. to identify and state the essence of something. That is correct! You have certainly put your finger on the problem. When she mentioned money, she really put her finger on the problem.
