Stop at a certain point in a case (5)
I believe the answer is:
cease
'stop' is the definition.
(I know that stop can be written as cease)
'a certain point in a case' is the wordplay.
'a certain point' becomes 'e' (compass point. I am not sure about the 'certain' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'e' put within 'case' is 'CEASE'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cease that I've seen before include "Discontinue" , "Desist" , "Political group" , "Culminate" , "Stop, terminate" .)
