Brought up artist on wrong side (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raised

'brought up' is the definition.
('raise' can be a synonym of 'bring up')

'artist on wrong side' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'side' with letters rearranged gives 'ised'.
'ra' inserted inside 'ised' is 'RAISED'.

(Other definitions for raised that I've seen before include "Lifted up; introduced (point)" , "Brought up, a child or subject" , "Lifted up, elevated" , "Brought up or collected for cause" , "Uplifted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
