Crossword Genius

Contend with point in perspective (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

view

'perspective' is the definition.
(I know that perspective can be written as view)

'contend with point' is the wordplay.
'contend with' becomes 'vie' (I've seen this in another clue).
'point' becomes 'w' (West).
'vie'+'w'='VIEW'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for view that I've seen before include "appearance" , "Opinion - vista" , "Aspect, scene" , "Watch TV, e.g." , "Regard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
