Points after trend loses colour (5)
I believe the answer is:
fades
'loses colour' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'points after trend' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'Es' (E is an example).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'trend' becomes 'fad' (a fad is a brief craze or fashion).
'es' put after 'fad' is 'FADES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fades that I've seen before include "Loses colour, through age or sunlight" , "Loses colour or freshness" , "Gets weaker" , "Gets less" .)
