Row about a rug, to a point (5)
I believe the answer is:
argue
'row' is the definition.
(row can mean to argue)
'about a rug to a point' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'to a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'a'+'rug'='arug'
'arug' with letters rearranged gives 'argu'.
'argu'+'e'='ARGUE'
(Other definitions for argue that I've seen before include "Wrangle" , "Make a case" , "Contest verbally, dispute" , "Disagree violently" , "Dispute, disagree" .)
