Put up for one night, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand

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

'put up' is the definition.
(to put with something is to stand or endure it)

'one night perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'std' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "Tolerate - resistance" , "Tolerate; rise" , "Base < put up with" , "Assume an upright position" , "Watch and do nothing to help" .)
