Put your foot in the paste pot (4)
I believe the answer is:
step
'put' is the definition.
(I know that step is a type of put)
'in the paste pot' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'STEP' is hidden in the letters of 'paste pot'.
'your foot' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for step that I've seen before include "Tread - stage" , "short distance" , "Dance move" , "Gradation" , "Single pace" .)
