Be entitled to a new timer (5)
I believe the answer is:
merit
'be entitled to' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a new timer' is the wordplay.
'a new' indicates an anagram.
'timer' with letters rearranged gives 'MERIT'.
(Other definitions for merit that I've seen before include "Good point or quality" , "Deserve or warrant" , "Value" , "Excellence, worth" , "Earn" .)
