Get below platform (10)

I believe the answer is:

understand

'get' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'below platform' is the wordplay.
'below' becomes 'under' ('under' can be a synonym of 'below').
'platform' becomes 'stand' (stand is a kind of platform**).
'under'+'stand'='UNDERSTAND'

(Other definitions for understand that I've seen before include "See" , "Make sense of" , "Comprehend" , "Perceive the meaning of" , "Twig" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
