Viewpoint from Stranglers (5)

I believe the answer is:

angle

'viewpoint' is the definition.
(angle is a kind of viewpoint)

'from stranglers' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ANGLE' can be found hidden inside 'stranglers'.

(Other definitions for angle that I've seen before include "Use a rod and line" , "Fish with a rod" , "Right, acute or obtuse" , "Heat (metal) and allow to cool to remove stresses" , "Point of view - fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
