Points a hill out, if you get my drift (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenor
'drift' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'points a hill out' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en'.
'a hill' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of hill).
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'en' inserted inside 'tor' is 'TENOR'.
'if you get my' 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 tenor that I've seen before include "Highest male voice" , "Eg, Placido Domingo" , "Vocal range" , "Meaning - male singing voice" , "Caruso or Domingo" .)
