Point thorn out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

north

'point' is the definition.
(I know that north is a type of cardinal compass point)

'thorn out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'thorn' is an anagram of 'NORTH'.

(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "Cardinal compass point" , "One of four bridge players" , "Arctic" , "bridge player" , "who has to follow West's lead?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
