Crossword Genius

Particular point made from dock? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detail

I believe this is a triple definition!

'particular' is the first definition.
(I know that particular can be written as detail)

'point' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'made from' acts as a link.

'dock?' is the third definition.
(dock can mean to remove a tail, as in de-tail)

(Other definitions for detail that I've seen before include "Factor" , "Describe fully, give particulars of" , "Dilate with individual item" , "Small fact or feature" , "Unimportant area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
