Slight point to one who makes advances (7)
I believe the answer is:
slender
'slight' is the definition.
(I know that slight can be written as slender)
'point to one who makes advances' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'point' could be 'end' (end is a kind of point) and 'end' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slender that I've seen before include "Gracefully thin and elegant" , "inadequate" , "Barely sufficient; thin" , "Slight in form" , "Faint" .)
