'passed round spread on view' is the definition.
'displayed' can be an answer for 'passed' (displaying is a kind of passing). I am not certain of the 'round spread on view' bit.

'passed round spread' is the wordplay.
'passed' becomes 'died' (pass can mean to die).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'spread' becomes 'splay' (splaying is a kind of spreading).
'died' placed around 'splay' is 'DISPLAYED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
