'spread' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'having missed out at home tucked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'missed' is 'dissem' which is within the answer.
'at' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
'home' could be 'at' (synonyms) and 'at' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'into' is the link.
