Place in ill repute (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

put

'place' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in ill repute' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'PUT' can be found hidden inside 'ill repute'.

(Other definitions for put that I've seen before include "Set (in place)" , "Place, lay" , "Place; placed" , "Place in a position" , "Place in a location" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
