Right for boy to hold hands (5)
I believe the answer is:
emend
'right' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'boy to hold hands' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'ed' (**).
'to hold' is an insertion indicator.
'hands' becomes 'men' ('men' can be a synonym of 'hands').
'ed' going around 'men' is 'EMEND'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emend that I've seen before include "Remove errors" , "Edit; make alterations to a draft" , "Rectify" , "get rid of faults" , "Make correction in written material" .)
