Indifferent in a way to quote raised (9)
I believe the answer is:
apathetic
'indifferent' is the definition.
('apathetic' can be a synonym of 'indifferent')
'a way to quote raised' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'path' (path is a kind of way**).
'to quote' becomes 'cite' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote').
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'cite' back-to-front is 'etic'.
'a'+'path'+'etic'='APATHETIC'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for apathetic that I've seen before include "disinclined to act" , "Indifferent - without emotion" , "Uninterested, lethargic" , "Not interested" , "Listless, lacking in interest" .)
