Position of peers from super states (6)
I believe the answer is:
status
'position' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'peers from super states' is the wordplay.
'peers from super' becomes 'stat' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'states' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States).
'stat'+'us'='STATUS'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for status that I've seen before include "Rank or position in society" , "Standing, condition, position" , "Relative social standing" , "One's position or rank relative to others" , "legal position" .)
