Making a point with hole (3)
I believe the answer is:
gap
'hole' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'making a point with' is the wordplay.
'with' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GAP' is hidden in the letters of 'making a point'.
(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Empty space between things" , "prospective students may enjoy this year?" , "Vacancy" , "Break, in a fence say" , "Disparity" .)
