Place in disrepute (3)
I believe the answer is:
put
'place' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'in disrepute' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PUT' is hidden in the letters of 'disrepute'.
(Other definitions for put that I've seen before include "Set (in place)" , "Place in a location" , "Place, lay" , "Place in a position" , "Place; placed" .)
