Right university found by royal man in the country (5)
I believe the answer is:
rural
'in the country' is the definition.
(rural means in the countryside)
'right university found by royal man' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'found by' says to put letters next to each other.
'royal' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'man' becomes 'Al' (man's name).
'r'+'u'+'r'+'al'='RURAL'
(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Relating to country life" , "Relating to the countryside" , "Sort of dean" , "Characteristic of the countryside" , "Countrified" .)
