Place person in AE (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'person in ae' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (bod can informally mean a person or body).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bod' placed within 'ae' is 'ABODE'.
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "stay" , "Place of residence" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "House made of adobe" , "Dwelling, residence" .)
