Beginning point? Nice work! (9)
I believe the answer is:
inception
'beginning' is the definition.
(inception is a kind of beginning)
'point? nice work' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'point'+'nice'='pointnice'
'pointnice' is an anagram of 'INCEPTION'.
(Other definitions for inception that I've seen before include "Establishment" , "Starting point" , "Opening" , "Beginning" , "start" .)
