Swine, English, keeping others standing (8)
I believe the answer is:
prestige
'standing' is the definition.
(prestige is a kind of standing)
'swine english keeping others' is the wordplay.
'swine' becomes 'pig' (pig is a kind of swine).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'keeping' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'pig'+'e'='pige'
'pige' enclosing 'rest' is 'PRESTIGE'.
(Other definitions for prestige that I've seen before include "High esteem" , "High repute" , "It's good standing" , "Status, reputation" , "Reputation based on achievements" .)
