Move from uncovered point (5)
I believe the answer is:
rouse
'move' is the definition.
(I know that rouse is a more specific form of the action move)
'from uncovered point' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
'point' becomes 'use' (both can mean purpose).
The centre of 'from' is 'ro'.
'ro'+'use'='ROUSE'
(Other definitions for rouse that I've seen before include "Make angry" , "Cause to become awake" , "Inspire" , "Bring out of sleep" , "Bestir" .)
