Point me out a spice (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pimento

'a spice' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'point me out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'point'+'me'='pointme'
'pointme' anagrammed gives 'PIMENTO'.

(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Sweet red pepper" , "Plant" , "Jamaica pepper" , "Allspice - top mine (anag)" , "Something spicy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
