elevated

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

'leave drunk man in high condition?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'leave drunk man' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'man' becomes 'ted' (Ted is a man's name).
'leave' is an anagram of 'eleva'.
'eleva'+'ted'='ELEVATED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elevated that I've seen before include "Lofty" , "in high place" , "Exalted; lifted" , "Sent to another place" , "of high status" .)
