Imagine points on face (8)
I believe the answer is:
envisage
'imagine' is the definition.
(I know that imagine can be written as envisage)
'points on face' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en' (compass points east and north).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'face' becomes 'visage' (visage is a kind of face).
'en'+'visage'='ENVISAGE'
(Other definitions for envisage that I've seen before include "Mentally picture" , "Contemplate, imagine" , "Form a mental image of" , "Conceive of, imagine" , "Imagine, foresee" .)
