Uplift (5)

I think it could be either:

raise

elate

'uplift' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "Erect; grow" , "Increased earnings in America" , "cairn" , "Lift, elevate" , "Bring up a salary increase" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror, the Universal, The New York Times and the Newsday.
