Central points (4)

I think it could be either:

foci

loci

'central points' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for foci that I've seen before include "fixed points" , "targets" , "Points for attention" , "Central points (of the greatest activity)" , "Centres" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The New York Times.
