Thrown into a suit case (9)
I believe the answer is:
situation
'case' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'thrown into a suit' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into'+'a'+'suit'='intoasuit'
'intoasuit' is an anagram of 'SITUATION'.
(Other definitions for situation that I've seen before include "Post" , "Place" , "Job; surroundings" , "hole" , "Location; job" .)
