Girl raised to show strength (5)
I believe the answer is:
asset
'strength' is the definition.
(asset can mean a strength or valuable quality)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asset that I've seen before include "It's an advantage to declare" , "Useful or valuable quality or possession" , "Anything of value" , "Something valuable to have" , "Item of property" .)
