Make intelligible point after attack (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decrypt

'make intelligible' is the definition.

'point after attack' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'pt'.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'attack' becomes 'decry'.
'pt' after 'decry' is 'DECRYPT'.

(Other definitions for decrypt that I've seen before include "Crack" , "Translate from code" , "Use key" , "Break code" , "Make sense of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
