Some praise cult regularly welcomed by family (7)
I believe the answer is:
tribute
'some praise' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cult regularly welcomed by family' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'welcomed by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'family' becomes 'tribe' (I've seen this in other clues).
The alternating letters of 'cult' are 'ut'.
'ut' placed into 'tribe' is 'TRIBUTE'.
(Other definitions for tribute that I've seen before include "Act / words of approbation" , "Testimonial, expression of esteem" , "Accolade" , "Rebut it as mark of respect" , "Commendation; homage" .)
