Injured pair use lift (5,2)
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.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
