Crossword Genius

Right apart, like below (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asunder

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

'right apart' is the definition.
'asunder' can be an answer for 'apart' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'right' bit.

'like below' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'below' becomes 'under' (synonyms).
'as'+'under'='ASUNDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asunder that I've seen before include "(Broken) apart" , "bits?" , "going to pieces" , "separately" , "Sad rune (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
