Put up with being unseated? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put up' is the definition.
(to put with something is to stand or endure it)

'with being unseated?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' and 'and' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'st' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "partnership" , "Rise; bear" , "Platform; attitude" , "Decline to interfere when one should?" , "Be upright; attitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
