Raised we hear and risen we hope (5)
I believe the answer is:
bread
'risen we hope' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'raised we hear' is the wordplay.
'raised' becomes 'bred' (eg bred children).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bred' is a homophone of 'BREAD'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bread that I've seen before include "It may be made from meal" , "Nan, for instance" , "Eg, sourdough or rye" , "Baker's product" , "''Eaten . . . . . is soon forgotte''" .)
