Place something fabricated on uniform (4)
I believe the answer is:
lieu
'place' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'fabricated on uniform' is the wordplay.
'fabricated on' becomes 'lie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'uniform' becomes 'u' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'lie'+'u'='LIEU'
'something' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lieu that I've seen before include "In - of means instead of" , "In ... of; in exchange for" , "The substitute" , "Place - position" , "'In ..., instead (4)'" .)
