A professional childless person's right (6)

I believe the answer is:

proper

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

'right' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'a professional childless person's' is the wordplay.
'a professional' becomes 'pro' (abbreviation).
'childless person' becomes 'per' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'childless' bit.).
'pro'+'per'='PROPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for proper that I've seen before include "Conforming to etiquette" , "Actual" , "Suitable and correct" , "Genuine; correct" , "Appropriate or decorous" .)
