Point terrible evils out as you complain tearfully (6)
I believe the answer is:
snivel
'complain tearfully' is the definition.
(to snivel is to complain and cry about something)
'point terrible evils out' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'evils' with letters rearranged gives 'sivel'.
'n' inserted into 'sivel' is 'SNIVEL'.
'as you' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snivel that I've seen before include "Cry in miserable whining way" , "Complain tearfully" , "Cry in whining way, whinge" , "Whimper" , "Complain whiningly" .)
