Support deal, step for change (8)
I believe the answer is:
pedestal
'support' is the definition.
(pedestal is a kind of support)
'deal step for change' is the wordplay.
'for change' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'deal'+'step'='dealstep'
'dealstep' with letters rearranged gives 'PEDESTAL'.
(Other definitions for pedestal that I've seen before include "Place for hero" , "Base supporting a statue" , "Place for idol, or basin" , "Plinth, stand" , "Those worshipped are put on one" .)
