Lift veto Real violated (8)
I believe the answer is:
elevator
'lift veto real violated' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'lift veto real' is the wordplay.
'lift' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'lifts' mean this).
'veto'+'real'='vetoreal'
'vetoreal' is an anagram of 'ELEVATOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elevator that I've seen before include "one that goes up and down" , "Lift - granary - aircraft control" , "A lift in America" , "may give you a lift" , "Cage that is raised and lowered mechanically in a vertical shaft" .)
