Place of some repute (3)
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)" .)
