Man right to be elevated (4)
I believe the answer is:
neil
'man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'right to be elevated' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'lien' (I've seen this before).
'to be elevated' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'lien' written backwards gives 'NEIL'.
(Other definitions for neil that I've seen before include "- Simon, US dramatist (Barefoot in the Park)" , "1969 moon walker" , "- Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon" , "Boy" , "-- Armstrong, Apollo astronaut" .)
