Nauseating quote compiler raised (6)
I believe the answer is:
emetic
'nauseating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'quote compiler raised' is the wordplay.
'quote' becomes 'cite' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote').
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'cite'+'me'='citeme'
'citeme' back-to-front is 'EMETIC'.
(Other definitions for emetic that I've seen before include "It's taken to cause vomiting" , "Substance given to make one vomit" , "Vomit-inducing medication" , "Ipecacuanha is one" , "Medicine taken to make one vomit" .)
