Elaborate point to make a speech about (6)
I believe the answer is:
ornate
'elaborate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'point to make a speech about' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'to make a speech' becomes 'orate' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'n' inserted into 'orate' is 'ORNATE'.
(Other definitions for ornate that I've seen before include "Heavily decorated" , "Highly decorated" , "Sumptuously decorated" , "Detailed" , "Baroque" .)
