Point of a thorn pulled out (5)
I believe the answer is:
north
'point' is the definition.
(north is a kind of point)
'a thorn pulled out' is the wordplay.
'thorn' anagrams to 'NORTH'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "Boreas was the god of the - wind" , "Thorn (anag.)" , "usually featured at the top of the charts?" , "who is opposed to East-West partnership?" , "He let America go" .)
