Looked at the jagged dart's point embedded in (6)
I believe the answer is:
stared
'looked' is the definition.
(staring is a kind of looking)
'the jagged dart's point embedded in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'point' could be 's' (South) and 's' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ared' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stared that I've seen before include "Looked hard and fixedly" , "Gaped" , "Look fixedly at" , "Gazed at in steady or prolonged way" , "Gazed intently at" .)
