I get a contract that's absolutely right (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ideal

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

'absolutely right' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'i get a contract' is the wordplay.
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'a contract' becomes 'deal' (I've seen this before).
'i'+'deal'='IDEAL'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ideal that I've seen before include "Perfect; a standard of perfection" , "Textbook" , "To which one aspires" , "immaculate" , "Paragon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
