Profit with right tiny amount (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grain

'tiny amount' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'profit with right' is the wordplay.
'profit' becomes 'gain' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'gain' enclosing 'r' is 'GRAIN'.

(Other definitions for grain that I've seen before include "basis for whisky" , "Cereal crops" , "Enter into combat with" , "Silo contents" , "Small particle - wood texture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
