Raised some cheetahs accompanying the bucks in America (4)
I believe the answer is:
cash
'bucks in america' is the definition.
'cash' can be an answer for 'bucks' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'in america' bit.
'raised some cheetahs accompanying' is the wordplay.
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'hsac' is hidden in the letters of 'cheetahs accompanying'.
'hsac' reversed gives 'CASH'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cash that I've seen before include "Spondulicks" , "Singer Johnny, d. 2003" , "Funds" , "Till" , "Brass" .)
