'take' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'inlet out around point' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'point' becomes 's' (S is an example).
'inlet' with letters rearranged gives 'enlit'.
'enlit' enclosing 's' is 'ENLIST'.
