Points a hill out, if you get my drift (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenor
'drift' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'points a hill out' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en' (two compass points).
'a hill' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of hill).
'out' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'en' placed into 'tor' is 'TENOR'.
'if you get my' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Highest male voice" , "Eg, Placido Domingo" , "Vocal range" , "Meaning - male singing voice" , "Caruso or Domingo" .)
