Give the right (7)
I believe the answer is:
entitle
'give the right' is the definition.
(someone entitled to something has a right to it)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for entitle that I've seen before include "Qualify, empower" , "Give a right (to someone to do something)" , "Style; give right to" , "Allow" , "Name; empower" .)
