Basic point (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'basic point' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gist that I've seen before include "Essential idea" , "Substance or general idea" , "Real point or substance" , "Pith, essence" , "Key point" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times and the Universal.
