Those encompassed as worthy of attention? (6)
I believe the answer is:
points
'those encompassed as worthy of attention?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'those encompassed as' is the wordplay.
'those' becomes 'pots' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'encompassed' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'as' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pots' placed around 'in' is 'POINTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for points that I've seen before include "as setter does" , "Decimal dots" , "Geometric elements that have position but no extension" , "Tips" , "Precise locations" .)
