Also raised the child (3)
I believe the answer is:
tot
'child' is the definition.
(term for a young child)
'also raised the' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'ot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'ot' written backwards gives 'to'.
'to'+'t'='TOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tot that I've seen before include "Add the little child?" , "Arithmetic for infant" , "Drop" , "Get the sum for the child" , "Nip" .)
