Not brought up to tease unmarried nursemaid (8)
I believe the answer is:
unraised
'to tease unmarried nursemaid' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'not brought up' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (prefix meaning 'not').
'brought up' becomes 'raised' (raising is a kind of bringing up).
'un'+'raised'='UNRAISED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unraised that I've seen is " Like a particular bread".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
