Being superior, a higher price for each? (5)
I believe the answer is:
upper
'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" .)
