Furniture stays put (6)
I believe the answer is:
sticks
'stays put' is the definition.
('stick' can be a synonym of 'stay put')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sticks that I've seen before include "potentially breaking our bones?" , "Twigs or thin branches of a tree" , "Glues" , "bits of wood" , "Is bogged down" .)
