Raise centrist agenda with aristocrat? (7)
I believe the answer is:
ennoble
'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" .)
