Come to the point of a candle? (5)
I believe the answer is:
taper
I believe this is a double definition.
'come to the point' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a candle?' is the second definition.
(I know that taper is a type of candle)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for taper that I've seen before include "Fall off" , "person making recording" , "Thin candle, spill" , "Give a point" , "Diminish gradually" .)
