Back up thick-headedly, say? (3)

I believe the answer is:

put

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'say?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'back up thick-headedly' is the wordplay.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'thick-headedly' becomes 't' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'up' in reverse letter order is 'pu'.
'pu'+'t'='PUT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for put that I've seen before include "Place in a position" , "Place; placed" , "Set (in place)" , "Place, lay" , "Place in a location" .)
