Synonymous with right? Could be (5)
I believe the answer is:
might
'could be' is the definition.
'might' can be an answer for 'could' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'be' bit.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for might that I've seen before include "Clout" , "Great power/strength" , "Capability" , "word expressing possibility" , "It expresses possibility" .)
