Glutton guzzling remainder, finishing off plate standing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prestige

'standing' is the definition.
(prestige is a kind of standing)

'glutton guzzling remainder finishing off plate' is the wordplay.
'glutton' becomes 'pig' (I've seen this in other clues).
'guzzling' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'remainder' becomes 'rest' ('rest' can be a synonym of 'remainder').
'finishing off' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'plate' is 'e'.
'pig' placed around 'rest' is 'prestig'.
'prestig'+'e'='PRESTIGE'

(Other definitions for prestige that I've seen before include "Highly-regarded" , "Kudos" , "Reputation based on achievements" , "Cachet" , "Status, reputation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
