Carried by cardinal, organ brought up (6)
I believe the answer is:
reared
'brought up' is the definition.
(rearing is a kind of bringing up)
'carried by cardinal organ' is the wordplay.
'carried by' indicates putting letters inside.
'cardinal' becomes 'red' (I've seen this in other clues).
'organ' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of organ).
'red' enclosing 'ear' is 'REARED'.
(Other definitions for reared that I've seen before include "Fostered, brought up" , "Provided and cared for during childhood" , "upright" , "Brought up, nurtured" , "Trained" .)
