Stand with old duke after journey (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tripod

'stand' is the definition.
(I know that tripod is a type of stand)

'old duke after journey' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'journey' becomes 'trip' (trip is a kind of journey).
'o'+'d'='od'
'od' put after 'trip' is 'TRIPOD'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for tripod that I've seen before include "Stand on three legs" , "Drop it (anag)" , "Torpid (anag.)" , "oral test at school" , "one appears to have three legs!" .)
