erected

'stood' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how one could define the other.

'before court and ended eviscerated' is the wordplay.
'before' becomes 'ere' (poetic term for 'before').
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'eviscerated' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the word is disembowelled of its inside letters).
'ended' with its centre removed is 'ed'.
'ere'+'ct'+'ed'='ERECTED'

Can you help me to learn more?
