Endless amusement with setter setting (9)

I believe the answer is:

placement

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'setting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'endless amusement with setter' is the wordplay.
'endless amusement' becomes 'pla' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'setter' becomes 'cement' (something that sets).
'pla'+'cement'='PLACEMENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for placement that I've seen before include "Temporary posting" , "location" , "period of work experience" , "Temporary job for work experience" , "Arrangement" .)
