Stead (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lieu

'stead' is the definition.
(I know that stead can be written as lieu)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lieu that I've seen before include "Stead - place" , "The substitute" , "Place - position" , "In ... of; in exchange for" , "In - of means instead of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Newsday, the Universal, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Sunday Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
