<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">deputises</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for stands in that I've seen before include "Acts as sub" , "Acts as a substitute" , "deputy" , "acts for the moment" , "Substitutes" .)
