instal

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

'put in office' is the definition.
'instal' can be an answer for 'put' (installing is a kind of putting). I'm not sure about the 'in office' bit.

'odd latins' is the wordplay.
'odd' indicates anagramming the letters.
'latins' anagrammed gives 'INSTAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for instal that I've seen before include "Give an office to" , "Set up and put into use" , "Set up for use (anag.)" , "institute" , "Set up ready for use" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
