Man raised fruit (4)
I believe the answer is:
emil
'man' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'raised fruit' is the wordplay.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'fruit' becomes 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit).
'lime' reversed gives 'EMIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emil that I've seen before include "German boy" , "French boy's name" , "- - Zatopek, Olympic runner" .)
