Intent or goal (3)
I believe the answer is:
aim
This clue is a double definition.
'intent' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'goal' is the second definition.
(aim is a kind of goal)
(Other definitions for aim that I've seen before include "Point towards a target, or have ambition" , "intent" , "Purpose, intention" , "Direct, intend" , "Draw a bead on" .)
