One's right to be paid, perhaps, without delay (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapid

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

'without delay' is the definition.

'one's right to be paid perhaps' is the wordplay.
'one's right' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paid' is an anagram of 'apid'.
'r'+'apid'='RAPID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rapid that I've seen before include "Electrical connector" , "Happening at great speed" , "Quickly accomplished" , "moving fast" , "Quick or swift" .)
