About this clue type

From the preamble to Azed No. 2053

Each clue contains a one-word definition of the word required at the number where it stands but belongs as a whole to a word of the same length elsewhere. Method recommended is to find, after solving a clue, a definition of the solution in one of the other clues to words of its length: this will show where the word is to go.

Competitors should submit with their solutions a clue following these rules to replace the definition asterisked. NB The clue thus submitted will of course belong as a whole to a word appearing elsewhere in the finished diagram, which must be determined.
