Nothing at first, points out choices (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

options

'choices' is the definition.
('option' can be a synonym of 'choice')

'nothing at first points out' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'at first' says to put letters next to each other.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'points' with letters rearranged gives 'ptions'.
'o'+'ptions'='OPTIONS'

(Other definitions for options that I've seen before include "Choices, ways to go" , "Alternatives, choices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
