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

'at the time' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'the point' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'the'+'n'='THEN'

'in question' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for then that I've seen before include "Once upon a time" , "Consequently" , "At that time; next" , "Afterwards - as a result" , "soon?" .)
