Poet loses right to dwelling (4)
I believe the answer is:
home
'to dwelling' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for home that I've seen before include "and 23: Host side" , "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like it" , "chez nous?" , "Place of origin" , "dwelling house" .)
