Crossword Genius

Praise a sort of latex (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exalt

'praise' is the definition.
(I know that exalt is a more specific form of the action praise)

'a sort of latex' is the wordplay.
'a sort of' indicates an anagram.
'latex' is an anagram of 'EXALT'.

(Other definitions for exalt that I've seen before include "Praise, glorify, or honour" , "Honour - raise up" , "Extol" , "put on a pedestal" , "Raise high, glorify" .)
