Point ride out and duck (5)
I believe the answer is:
eider
'duck' is the definition.
(eider is a type of duck)
'point ride out' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ride' is an anagram of 'ider'.
'e'+'ider'='EIDER'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for eider that I've seen before include "Duck known for down" , "Source of fine soft down" , "Breed of duck" , "Northern sea duck" , "Reed I make into a duck" .)
