Bring up the tail (4)
I believe the answer is:
rear
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'bring' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'up' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'the tail' is the third definition.
('rear' can be a synonym of 'tail')
(Other definitions for rear that I've seen before include "Jump" , "Back; bring up (young)" , "Bring up and care for" , "Bring up (children)" , "Foster" .)
