Crossword Genius

Lay out drapes all over the place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spread

'lay out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drapes all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates an anagram.
'drapes' is an anagram of 'SPREAD'.

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "Expanse; edible paste" , "Feature" , "Disseminate through padres" , "Open, fan out, unfold" , "Extent; elaborate meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
