Super prince made king more positive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surer

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

'more positive' is the definition.
('sure' can be similar in meaning to 'positive')

'super prince made king' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'king' could be 'er' (abbreviation for Edward Rex, various English kings) and 'er' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for surer that I've seen before include "faster" , "More certain and positive" , "more right?" .)
