Lift from bed, if yawning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edify

'lift' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'from bed if yawning' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'EDIFY' can be found hidden inside 'bed if yawning'.

(Other definitions for edify that I've seen before include "Change for the better" , "Improve morality, perhaps" , "Uplift; elevate" , "Strengthen spiritually" , "Enlighten" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
