Stand round day after journey (6)
I believe the answer is:
tripod
'stand' is the definition.
(I know that tripod is a type of tripod)
'round day after journey' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'journey' becomes 'trip' (trip is a kind of journey).
'o'+'d'='od'
'od' after 'trip' is 'TRIPOD'.
(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "Three-legged stand as for camera" , "Torpid (anag.)" , "Something on three legs" , "support called for" , "oral test at school" .)
