Commended installation of lift in Palladium (7)
I believe the answer is:
praised
'commended installation' is the definition.
'praised' can be an answer for 'commended' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'installation' bit.
'lift in palladium' is the wordplay.
'lift' becomes 'raise' ('raise' can be a synonym of 'lift'**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'palladium' becomes 'pd' ('Pd' can be a synonym of 'palladium').
'raise' going into 'pd' is 'PRAISED'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for praised that I've seen before include "Expressed approval of" , "Expressed admiration for" , "Spoke well of" , "well-received" , "Acclaimed" .)
