Crossword Genius

Withdrawal of 101 meeting points (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foci

'meeting points' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'withdrawal of 101' is the wordplay.
'withdrawal' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'withdrawal of' mean this).
'101' becomes 'CI' (roman numerals).
'of' written backwards gives 'fo'.
'fo'+'ci'='FOCI'

(Other definitions for foci that I've seen before include "Centres" , "Points for attention" , "Central points (of the greatest activity)" , "fixed points" , "targets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
