Raise this in surprise listening to Cockney intellectual? (7)
I believe the answer is:
eyebrow
'raise this in surprise listening to cockney intellectual?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyebrow that I've seen before include "one's raised disapprovingly" , "this might be raised in surprise" , "Facial hair (that can be raised)" , "What's raised in surprise" , "Arched line of facial hair" .)
