Crossword Genius

View out over station (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

understanding

'view' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'out over station' is the wordplay.
'out' becomes 'under' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'station' becomes 'standing' (both can mean one's position in society).
'under'+'standing'='UNDERSTANDING'

(Other definitions for understanding that I've seen before include "Gathering" , "Knowing" , "Knowledge" , "Informal agreement" , "Discernment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
