Place for raising some of the quintuplets (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

put

'place' is the definition.
('put' can be a synonym of 'place')

'raising some of the quintuplets' is the wordplay.
'raising' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'some of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'tup' can be found hidden inside 'quintuplets'.
'tup' back-to-front is 'PUT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for put that I've seen before include "Place in a position" , "Place, lay" , "Place; placed" , "Set (in place)" , "Place in a location" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
