Look like getting point, holding City (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspect

'look' is the definition.
(I know that look can be written as aspect)

'like getting point holding city' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'point' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation for point).
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'city' becomes 'EC' (postcode for the City of London).
'pt' going around 'ec' is 'pect'.
'as'+'pect'='ASPECT'

(Other definitions for aspect that I've seen before include "particular view" , "Particular part or element, of a problem say" , "Look, panorama" , "Viewpoint or view" , "Demeanour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
