Crossword Genius

Delight shown in place with comfort (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

please

'delight' is the definition.
('please' can be a synonym of 'delight')

'place with comfort' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'comfort' becomes 'ease' (easing is a kind of comforting).
'pl'+'ease'='PLEASE'

'shown in' is the link.

(Other definitions for please that I've seen before include "Asleep (anag)" , "Delight; amuse" , "Give happiness" , "Would you mind" , "Beatles song (request to oblige?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
