Having been scattered, maybe came to rest at certain points (6)

I believe the answer is:

strewn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'having been scattered maybe came' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'rest at certain points' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'rest' is 'stre' which is present in the answer.
'points' could be 'wn' and 'wn' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
