I believe the answer is:

tangent

(Other definitions for tangent that I've seen before include "Straight line just touching a curve" , "Line touching curve at one point" , "Line touching circumference" , "Line that touches curve without crossing it" , "Straight line that touches but does not intersect a curve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
