Points to two articles to wrap (6)
I believe the answer is:
swathe
'to wrap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'points to two articles' is the wordplay.
'two articles' means two substitutions for 'article'.
'points' becomes 'sw' (two compass points).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'article' becomes 'a' (English indefinite article).
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'sw'+'a'+'the'='SWATHE'
(Other definitions for swathe that I've seen before include "Strip cut by a scythe" , "Swaddle - cut strip" , "Wrap in bandages - broad mown band" , "row after reaping" , "Bandage completely - band of mown grass" .)
