Stead (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lieu

'stead' is the definition.
(I know that stead can be written as lieu)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lieu that I've seen before include "Stead - place" , "The substitute" , "Place - position" , "In ... of; in exchange for" , "In - of means instead of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sunday Times, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
