Crossword Genius

Lowest point of a drain, possibly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nadir

'lowest point' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drain possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'drain' anagrammed gives 'NADIR'.

'of a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nadir that I've seen before include "It's the depths" , "worst-case scenario?" , "deep despair" , "All-time low" , "The lowest point of anything" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
