Find exact place that could give you a sharp prick (8)
I believe the answer is:
pinpoint
'find' is the definition.
(I know that pinpoint is a kind of locate)
'exact place that could give you a sharp prick' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'place' could be 'point' and 'point' is found in the answer.
'prick' could be 'pin' (both can mean to pierce) and 'pin' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pinpoint that I've seen before include "something sharp" , "Precisely indicate" , "Tiny dot; absolutely precise" , "Define precisely" , "Locate precisely" .)
