Right Holy Joe inspiring base with energy (9)
I believe the answer is:
privilege
'right' is the definition.
(privilege can mean a right to do something)
'holy joe inspiring base with energy' is the wordplay.
'holy joe' becomes 'prig' (both can mean a pious person).
'inspiring' is an insertion indicator.
'base' becomes 'vile' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mci).
'prig' placed around 'vile' is 'privileg'.
'privileg'+'e'='PRIVILEGE'
(Other definitions for privilege that I've seen before include "Special advantage" , "Honour" , "Exclusive right" , "Special right" , "advantage given only to a few" .)
