Lieu (5)
I believe the answer is:
stead
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lieu</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Another definition for stead that I've seen is " Place, function or role of another".)
I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Penny Press, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
