Dad's right to be normal (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

par

'be normal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'dad's right' is the wordplay.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (synonyms).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'pa'+'r'='PAR'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for par that I've seen before include "Average score for round of golf" , "Standard number of strokes for a golf hole" , "Face value; equal standing" , "Rap to get even" , "Rating of strokes required for hole (golf)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
