Positioned student and walked round (6)
I believe the answer is:
placed
'positioned' is the definition.
('place' can be a synonym of 'position')
'student and walked round' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'student' could be 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers) and 'l' is present in the answer.
'walked' could be 'paced' (pacing is a kind of walking) and 'paced' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for placed that I've seen before include "Positioned" , "Came second or third" , "Put in position" , "Put, situated" , "Set" .)
