Point applied to country girl (7)
I believe the answer is:
frances
'girl' is the definition.
'point applied to country' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'point' could be 's' (South) and 's' is found within the answer.
'applied' could be 'ran' (running is a kind of applying) and 'ran' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frances that I've seen before include "Name" , "Girl" .)
