Steer badly and turn back to starting point (5)
I believe the answer is:
reset
'point' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'steer badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'steer' anagrammed gives 'RESET'.
'and turn back to starting' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reset that I've seen before include "Replant" , "Adjust (eg clock, tuning)" , "button on electronic device?" , "Put together again" , "Return to original configuration" .)
