One to grasp decisive point (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clincher

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'point' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one to grasp decisive' is the wordplay.
'one to grasp' becomes 'clinch' (clinch is a kind of grasp).
'decisive' becomes 'er' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'clinch'+'er'='CLINCHER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clincher that I've seen before include "Something settling a matter conclusively" , "Something decisive" , "Decisive argument" , "Decisive factor" , "Argument-settling fact" .)
