Crossword Genius

Architect points arounds – concerning (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wren

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'architect' is the definition.
(Christopher Wren, 17th-century architect)

'points arounds concerning' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'points' could be 'en' (two compass points) and 'en' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wren that I've seen before include "Small bird - great architect" , "A small garden bird" , "Sir Christopher -, architect of St Paul's" , "Navy girl" , "Small British bird" .)
