Access points ultimately not the answer (5)
I believe the answer is:
enter
'access' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'points ultimately not the answer' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en' (two compass points).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'not the answer' are 'ter'.
'en'+'ter'='ENTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enter that I've seen before include "Treen (anag.)" , "Register (as a competitor)" , "Enroll, sign up" , "Pierce" , "Set foot in" .)
