Place of some repute (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

put

'place' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'some repute' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'PUT' is hidden in the letters of 'repute'.

'of' acts as a link.

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
