Spoons thrown right back (7)
I believe the answer is:
sponsor
'back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'spoons thrown right' is the wordplay.
'thrown' is an anagram indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'spoons' is an anagram of 'sponso'.
'sponso'+'r'='SPONSOR'
(Other definitions for sponsor that I've seen before include "One paying to support" , "One financially supporting an activity" , "One pledging money" , "Finance (an event)" , "One funding an event" .)
