Praises runner going up to embrace those who've looked after them (6)
I believe the answer is:
others
'them' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'praises runner going up to embrace those who've looked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'runner' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'those' is 'othes' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'after' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for others that I've seen before include "Not these, alternatives" , "Not the same one already mentioned" , "The rest" , "People in throes - not us" , "Different ones" .)
