Broad raised stupid point (4)

I believe the answer is:

dame

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

'broad' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'raised stupid point' is the wordplay.
'raised stupid' becomes 'dam' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'point' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'dam'+'e'='DAME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "Female equivalent of British sir" , "Pantomime female" , "Man's panto role" , "Comic pantomime role" , "Lady's title" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
