Stead (4)

I believe the answer is:

lieu

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">stead</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(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 New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The Mirror, The Sunday Times and the Newsday.
