No sedentary status (8)
I believe the answer is:
standing
This clue might be a double definition.
'no sedentary' is the first definition.
'standing' can be an answer for 'sedentary' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'no' bit.
'status' is the second definition.
(I know that standing is a type of status)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for standing that I've seen before include "one sort of committee?" , "type of committee" , "Still in" , "Buying a round on one's feet" , "(Of corn) not yet reaped" .)
