Uplifting characters from Unforgiven, Rawhide and Sound the Alarm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warn

'sound the alarm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'uplifting characters from unforgiven rawhide' is the wordplay.
'uplifting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'characters from' indicates a hidden word.
'nraw' is hidden within 'unforgiven rawhide'.
'nraw' reversed gives 'WARN'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for warn that I've seen before include "Sound the alarm" , "Advise" , "Admonish, caution" , "Make aware of danger" , "Notify of potential risk" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
