Rent men lifted bullfighter (6)
I believe the answer is:
torero
'bullfighter' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'rent men lifted' is the wordplay.
'rent' becomes 'tore' ('rend' and 'tear' both mean to rip something).
'men' becomes 'OR' (military abbreviation for Other Ranks).
'lifted' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in down clue).
'or' back-to-front is 'ro'.
'tore'+'ro'='TORERO'
(Other definitions for torero that I've seen before include "Spaniard in ring" , "hero in the ring" , "Escamillo, for example" , "Bullfighter" , "Bullring occupant" .)
