Being superior, a higher price for each? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upper

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

'being superior' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a higher price for each?' is the wordplay.
'a higher price' becomes 'up' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for each?' becomes 'per' (I've seen this before).
'up'+'per'='UPPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for upper that I've seen before include "person marking swans on Thames?" , "The higher of two, berths perhaps" , "Part of shoe above sole" , "Higher; superior" , "Higher in rank" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
