Uproar about Virginia's settee (5)
I believe the answer is:
divan
'settee' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'uproar about virginia's' is the wordplay.
'uproar' becomes 'din' (both can mean a commotion or fuss).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'din' enclosing 'va' is 'DIVAN'.
(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "resting place" , "Piece of furniture" , "Long backless sofa" , "Sideless, backless couch" , "Sofa - bed" .)
