Doctrine that can be seen as elevated (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenet
'doctrine' is the definition.
(both can mean a belief or value)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenet that I've seen before include "Belief - maxim" , "Doctrine; principle held" , "A religious doctrine proclaimed as true without proof" , "Belief held as true" , "A belief or credo - it's a palindrome" .)
