I am about to offer direction in the same place (6)
I believe the answer is:
ibidem
'in the same place' is the definition.
('ibidem' can be a synonym of 'in the same place')
'i am about to offer direction' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'im'.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'to offer' becomes 'bid' ('bid' can be a synonym of 'offer').
'direction' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'bid'+'e'='bide'
'im' going around 'bide' is 'IBIDEM'.
(Other definitions for ibidem that I've seen before include "In the same source (Latin)" , "Previously cited (in this book)" , "In the same book or passage, often abbreviated" , "In the same place (Latin)" , "In the same place, used in referencing" .)
