Crossword Genius

Point after brother, making face (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breast

'face' is the definition.
(breasting is a kind of facing)

'point after brother' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'east' (east is a kind of point**).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'brother' becomes 'br'.
'east' put after 'br' is 'BREAST'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for breast that I've seen before include "Milk-secreting organ" , "Invalid's helper" , "Mamma" , "Part of body" , "Bit of turkey, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
