I believe the answer is:

tangent

(Other definitions for tangent that I've seen before include "line in mathematics" , "Straight line touching a circle" , "Straight line just touching a curve" , "Straight line resting on a circle" , "What people often go off at!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
