Raise with some relief (6)
I believe the answer is:
emboss
'raise' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emboss that I've seen before include "printing style" , "Ornament in relief" , "Carve etc so as to raise from surface" , "Print in relief" , "Execute in relief" .)
