Point of savage decapitation (4)
I believe the answer is:
east
This clue might be a double definition.
'point' is the first definition.
(east is a kind of point)
'savage decapitation' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Where the sun rises" , "Direction taken when going from the US towards Ireland" , "course" , "Ninety degree bearing" , "Tom's schoolfellow" .)
