Something that rises possibly ends care (8)

I believe the answer is:

ascender

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something that rises' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'possibly ends care' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'ends'+'care'='endscare'
'endscare' anagrammed gives 'ASCENDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascender that I've seen before include "Top part of lower-case letter such as b or d" , "What goes up" , "Top part of a tall lower-case letter" , "One climbing" , "Climber" .)
