Making a point about a hole (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gap

'a hole' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'making a point about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GAP' can be found hidden inside 'making a point'.

(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Interval, break" , "Disparity" , "Empty space between things" , "Break in continuity" , "Small opening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
