Could be Mr Right (5)
I believe the answer is:
title
'right' is the definition.
(I know that title is a type of legal right)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Name; heading" , "Right of ownership" , "'The name of a book, say (5)'" , "Handle" , "big role" .)
