Raise centrist agenda with aristocrat? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ennoble

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'centrist agenda with aristocrat?' is the wordplay.
'centrist agenda' becomes 'en' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'aristocrat?' becomes 'Noble' (member of the nobility).
'en'+'noble'='ENNOBLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ennoble that I've seen before include "Distinguish" , "Give peerage to" , "Lend greater dignity to" , "Make a count, perhaps" , "Bestow peerage on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
