Revealing the point of excursions (7)
I believe the answer is:
outings
'excursions' is the definition.
('outing' can be a synonym of 'excursion')
'revealing the point' is the wordplay.
'revealing' becomes 'outing' (outing is a kind of revealing).
'the point' becomes 's' (S is an example).
'outing'+'s'='OUTINGS'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for outings that I've seen before include "Excursions, jaunts" , "Pleasure trips" .)
