'too well established on place' is the definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.

'on place' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'place' becomes 'set' (setting is a kind of placing).
'over'+'set'='OVERSET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overset that I've seen before include "disquiet" , "Disturbed" , "Put into disorder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
