The purpose or point of various exercises (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

use

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'the purpose' is the first definition.
('use' can be a synonym of 'purpose')

'point of various exercises' is the second definition.
'use' can be an answer for 'point' (both can mean purpose). I am not sure about the 'of various exercises' bit.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for use that I've seen before include "Apply, employ" , "Put to work" , "Put to a particular purpose" , "Bring into play" , "Application" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
