Implant added -- bumped up evenly (5)

I believe the answer is:

embed

'implant' is the definition.
('embed' can be a synonym of 'implant')

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for embed that I've seen before include "Fix firmly and deeply" , "Surround" , "Fix firmly in surrounding mass" , "Plant firmly" , "Put entirely inside something else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
