rear

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'bring up' is the first definition.
(as in rearing children)

'when last?' is the second definition.
'rear' can be an answer for 'last?' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'when' bit.

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rear that I've seen before include "Stern" , "Bring up - the tail" , "Buttocks - rise up" , "Bottom" , "parent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
