Come to the point of a candle? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taper

I believe this is a double definition.

'come to the point' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a candle?' is the second definition.
(I know that taper is a type of candle)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for taper that I've seen before include "Fall off" , "person making recording" , "Thin candle, spill" , "Give a point" , "Diminish gradually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
