Raised in social status, reorganising field day (8)
I believe the answer is:
ladyfied
'raised in social status' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.
'reorganising field day' is the wordplay.
'reorganising' indicates anagramming the letters (reorganising the letters).
'field'+'day'='fieldday'
'fieldday' is an anagram of 'LADYFIED'.
