Points out nose (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snout

'nose' is the definition.
(I know that snout is a type of nose)

'points out' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'sn' (two compass points).
'sn'+'out'='SNOUT'

(Other definitions for snout that I've seen before include "Nose, tobacco (colloq.)" , "Porker's hooter?" , "Tobacco -- hooter" , "Muzzle; Wall (MND)" , "Pig's nose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
