Drinking-vessel to see raised? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cup
'drinking-vessel' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'see raised?' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'raised?' becomes 'up' ('up' can be similar in meaning to 'raised').
'c'+'up'='CUP'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cup that I've seen before include "McCarthy, Walker or Maguire" , "Award; mug" , "Trophy; drinking vessel" , "competition" , "'There's many a slip 'twixt ... and lip.'" .)
