sited

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

'so placed' is the definition.
'sited' can be an answer for 'placed' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'so' bit.

'to sit on the end of the bed' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the end of' says to take the final letters.
The last letters of 'the bed' are 'ed'.
'sit'+'ed'='SITED'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sited that I've seen before include "Put" , "installed" , "Situated" , "Positioned" , "Placed, located" .)
