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 King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, the Newsday, The Sunday Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The New York Times and The Mirror.
