Moot point in our edict redrafted (9)
I believe the answer is:
introduce
'moot' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'point in our edict redrafted' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'redrafted' indicates anagramming the letters (to redraft something is to improve or rewrite it).
'our'+'edict'='ouredict'
'ouredict' with letters rearranged gives 'itroduce'.
'n' put inside 'itroduce' is 'INTRODUCE'.
(Other definitions for introduce that I've seen before include "Present (someone) by name" , "Bring to notice or make known" , "Bring in something or someone new" , "Make one person known to another" , "Propose" .)
