'solitary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i have to follow right clue's solution' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' is within the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'clue' is 'eclu' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
