Do these orders refer to the national anthem? (8)
I believe the answer is:
standing
'do' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for standing that I've seen before include "Buying a round on one's feet" , "Upright" , "Position or reputation" , "Status, reputation" , "Still in" .)
