Crook’s point of view (5)
I believe the answer is:
angle
This clue is a triple definition!
'crook's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'point' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Point of view' mean 'angle' so perhaps 'point' could also mean 'angle')
'of' acts as a link.
'view' is the third definition.
(angle is a kind of view)
(Other definitions for angle that I've seen before include "Try to catch" , "Germanic invader" , "fork" , "Approach to problem" , "that is often right" .)
