Raise to a higher position (7)
I believe the answer is:
elevate
'raise to a higher position' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for elevate that I've seen before include "Lift to higher place or position" , "Raise or lift" , "Uplift" , "Lift up or ennoble" , "'Raise, upgrade (7)'" .)
