Cheer from Tories hosted by Scottish eminence (8)
I believe the answer is:
brighten
'cheer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'tories hosted by scottish eminence' is the wordplay.
'tories' becomes 'right'.
'hosted by' is an insertion indicator.
'scottish eminence' becomes 'ben' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'right' put inside 'ben' is 'BRIGHTEN'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brighten that I've seen before include "Illuminate, cheer up" , "Liven up" , "Cheer up; clear up" , "Polish" , "Berthing (anag.)" .)
