I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">seated</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('sit' can be a synonym of 'seat')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for sat that I've seen before include "nearly half a day" , "Perched" , "Was sitting" , "twenty-four hours" , "Relaxed" .)
