Home, where an old robber went on foot (3)
I believe the answer is:
pad
'home' is the definition.
(pad can mean a person's home)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pad that I've seen before include "Piece of soft material or bachelor's flat" , "Floating leaf of a lily" , "Fill with extra material in order to lengthen" , "Walk softly around the apartment?" , "Tread softly" .)
