Stand in (for) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deputise

'stand in for' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deputise that I've seen before include "Stand in for" , "Appoint as a substitute" , "Appoint as representative" , "Appoint as stand-in" , "Act as delegate for a person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
