Crossword Genius

Injured pair use lift (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise up

'lift' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'injured pair use' is the wordplay.
'injured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pair'+'use'='pairuse'
'pairuse' with letters rearranged gives 'RAISE UP'.

(Another definition for raise up that I've seen is " Lift".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
