8A A pointed thing not grand as Oliver's protector

From the letters already obtained and the clues I believe the word to be "apron" but I am puzzled as to why "A pointed thing not grand" furnishes any help or its connection to the word "apron "

Can anyone give the reasons for this

Thanks

Apologies, the reasoning behind why the answer is the answer above came to me in a blinding flash a few moments later so no need to reply
