Waugh, for instance, gets name raised regularly (6)
I believe the answer is:
evenly
'regularly' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'waugh for instance gets name raised' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'name' could be 'eve' and 'eve' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for evenly that I've seen before include "Smoothly, regularly" , "impartial manner" , "In equal proportion" , "Smoothly or impartially" , "In level or uniform manner" .)
