Latins put out or put in office (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put in office' is the definition.
'instal' can be an answer for 'put' (installing is a kind of putting). I'm not certain of the 'in office' bit.

'latins put out' is the wordplay.
'put out' is an anagram indicator.
'latins' with letters rearranged gives 'INSTAL'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for instal that I've seen before include "Place in position, ready for use" , "Put in position" , "Place equipment in position" , "Set up for use (anag.)" , "Invest in office" .)
