Point to understand about cover for fugitive (7)
I believe the answer is:
escapee
'fugitive' is the definition.
(escapee is a kind of fugitive)
'point to understand about cover' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'to understand' becomes 'see' ('see' can be a synonym of 'understand').
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'cover' becomes 'cap' (cap is a kind of cover**).
'see' enclosing 'cap' is 'scapee'.
'e'+'scapee'='ESCAPEE'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for escapee that I've seen before include "runner appears" , "Absconder, fugitive" , "Fugitive from prison" , "One flees captivity" , "One flying from" .)
