Lift the Spanish woman before rocky outcrop (8)
I believe the answer is:
elevator
'lift' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'the spanish woman before rocky outcrop' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'woman' becomes 'Eva' (woman's name).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'rocky outcrop' becomes 'tor' (term for a hill).
'el'+'eva'+'tor'='ELEVATOR'
(Other definitions for elevator that I've seen before include "Gentle caress" , "I go up" , "Farm herd" , "may give you a lift" , "An American lift in building" .)
