Foreman put right after blunder (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaffer

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

'foreman' is the definition.
(I know that foreman can be written as gaffer)

'right after blunder' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'blunder' could be 'gaffe' (gaffe is a kind of blunder) and 'gaffe' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gaffer that I've seen before include "Informal boss or foreman" , "Boss, overseer" , "Chief electrician on a film set" , "one prone to blunder socially?" , "Informally, a boss or foreman" .)
