stood

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

'remained stationary' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for stood that I've seen before include "Was upstanding" , "Remained upright" , "Remained valid" , "Was a candidate for election" , "Tolerated; stayed upright" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
