English fellow brought up to be a star (4)
I believe the answer is:
name
'a star' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english fellow brought up' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'brought up' says the letters should be written in reverse (down clues only).
'e'+'man'='eman'
'eman' back-to-front is 'NAME'.
'to be' is the link.
(Other definitions for name that I've seen before include "Amen (anag)" , "Mean sort of appellation" , "Appoint - famous person" , "''A rose by any other ... would smell as sweet'' (Romeo and Juliet)" , "Title; famous person" .)
