Boshi
Boshi means capping play and is visualized in the following diagram. It can be seen as the counterpart of the ikken tobi.
Here the boshi reduces the moyo formed by the black stones. If Black were allowed to play at 1, his moyo would be perfected.
Here the boshi blocks off White's natural escape to the center. The purpose can be twofold: make territory at the top while White is fleeing along dame points and/or create thickness towards the center.
