Crossword Genius

Part of leg points and glistens (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shines

'glistens' is the definition.
(I know this)

'part of leg points' is the wordplay.
'part of leg' becomes 'shin' ('shin' is part of 'leg').
'points' becomes 'es' (E is an example).
'shin'+'es'='SHINES'

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for shines that I've seen is " Gives out bright light".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
