Making a point about hole (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gap

'hole' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

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

(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Space (maybe for a year?)" , "Break, in a fence say" , "Pause" , "Opening, breach" , "A break or opening as in a hedge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
