Look from a figure that's elevated in hearing (6)
I believe the answer is:
appear
'look' is the definition.
(I know that look can be written as appear)
'from a figure that's elevated in hearing' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'ap' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a figure that's elevated' becomes 'peer' (someone elevated to the peerage).
'in hearing' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'peer' is a homophone of 'pear'.
'ap'+'pear'='APPEAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "Arrive" , "Perform" , "Show up like ghost" , "Become visable" , "Come into sight, materialise" .)
