Jousting spear (5)
I believe the answer is:
lance
'jousting spear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lance that I've seen before include "Weapon of knights of old" , "Pointed instrument" , "Rider's long weapon" , "Horseman's long spear" , "Long pointed weapon of old" .)
