Crossword Genius

Reputation's up! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

standing

I believe this is a double definition.

'reputation's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for standing that I've seen before include "Being a candidate - status" , "Prestige" , "Bearing" , "Still in" , "Status - on one's feet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
