Commend power lift (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

praise

'commend' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'power lift' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'p'.
'lift' becomes 'raise' ('raise' can be a synonym of 'lift').
'p'+'raise'='PRAISE'

(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Cry 'hallelujah'" , "Be aware of (something)" , "Kudos, pat on the back" , "Approve and commend" , "Congratulate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
