Orator asks God for compliments (6)
I believe the answer is:
praise
'for compliments' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'orator asks god' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'god' could be 'ra' (Egyptian god) and 'ra' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pise' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for praise that I've seen before include "Express warm approval of (someone/something)" , "Acclaim, commend" , "Commendation" , "Congratulate" , "Cry 'hallelujah'" .)
