'put up with' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a drunken sot having to do wrong' is the wordplay.
'a drunken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to do wrong' becomes 'od' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sot' with letters rearranged gives 'sto'.
'sto'+'od'='STOOD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stood that I've seen before include "Paid" , "Remained valid" , "Was upstanding" , "Rose to one's feet" , "Was a candidate for election" .)
