I'd turn awkward on a point and butt in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrude

'butt in' is the definition.
(to butt in is to intrude or interrupt)

'i'd turn awkward on a point' is the wordplay.
'awkward' is an anagram indicator.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'id'+'turn'='idturn'
'idturn' anagrammed gives 'intrud'.
'intrud'+'e'='INTRUDE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intrude that I've seen before include "Put forward" , "Gatecrash" , "Trespass" , "Push in unwantedly" , "Stick one's nose in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
