Couple raised farm animal during work (7)
I believe the answer is:
twosome
'couple' is the definition.
(I know that couple can be written as twosome)
'raised farm animal during work' is the wordplay.
'raised' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in a down clue).
'farm animal' becomes 'sow' (female pig).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'work' becomes 'tome' (tome is a kind of work).
'sow' reversed gives 'wos'.
'wos' placed inside 'tome' is 'TWOSOME'.
(Other definitions for twosome that I've seen before include "match" , "Pair, duo" , "Item" , "game of golf" , "Couple" .)
