I believe the answer is:

lieu

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">stead</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for lieu that I've seen before include "Stead - place" , "The substitute" , "Place - position" , "In ... of; in exchange for" , "In - of means instead of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Mirror, The Independent, The Sunday Times, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times and the Universal.
