Can be claimed to have its point (7)

I believe the answer is:

decimal

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

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

'can be claimed' is the wordplay.
'can be' is an anagram indicator.
'claimed' with letters rearranged gives 'DECIMAL'.

'to have its' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decimal that I've seen before include "System based on ten" , "Based on the number 10" , "Claimed, wrongly, to have this currency" , "System based on 10" , "In base ten" .)
