Poet loses right to residence (4)
I believe the answer is:
home
'residence' is the definition.
(home is a kind of residence)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for home that I've seen before include "It's where the heart is, it's said" , "Residence" , "goal" , "Place of origin" , "Place of dwelling" .)
