'nominally' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a man set up with a place' is the wordplay.
'set up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a place' becomes 'ely' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'man' reversed gives 'nam'.
'nam'+'ely'='NAMELY'
