Bear has no right to invest (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endue

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

'invest' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bear has no right' is the wordplay.
'bear has no' becomes 'en' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'right' becomes 'due' (due is a kind of right).
'en'+'due'='ENDUE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endue that I've seen before include "Invest - provide" , "Supply or provide" , "Furnish" , "Put on clothes" , "Invest - supply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
