An Ottoman governor raised some eyebrows (3)
I believe the answer is:
bey
'an ottoman governor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'raised some eyebrows' is the wordplay.
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'yeb' is hidden within 'eyebrows'.
'yeb' back-to-front is 'BEY'.
(Other definitions for bey that I've seen before include "Commander" , "Formerly used in Turkey and Egypt as a courtesy title" , "Ottoman governor" , "Turkish title" .)
