Wrap up Eastern European returning with five points (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

envelop

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

'wrap up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eastern european returning with five points' is the wordplay.
'eastern european' becomes 'Pole'.
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'five points' becomes 'env' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pole' reversed gives 'elop'.
'elop' put after 'env' is 'ENVELOP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for envelop that I've seen before include "Enfold, enwrap" , "Obscure" , "Wrap up - pen love (anag)" , "Surround completely" , "Swathe" .)
