It's well for one's superior (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

better

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

This might be a double definition.

'it's well' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'one's superior' is the second definition.
'better' can be an answer for 'superior' (better is a kind of superior). I am not certain of the 'one's' bit.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for better that I've seen before include "Top" , "Preferable" , "person making use of 43 [TOTE]" , "More desirable; gambler" , "Partly or fully recovered from illness" .)
