Crossword Genius

Stand being overdrawn after voyage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tripod

'stand' is the definition.
(tripod is a kind of stand)

'overdrawn after voyage' is the wordplay.
'overdrawn' becomes 'od' (abbreviation for overdrawn).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'voyage' becomes 'trip'.
'od' put after 'trip' is 'TRIPOD'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "Stand on three legs" , "Something on three legs" , "one appears to have three legs!" , "Pay heed" , "Drop it (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
