The right to get paid as required, i.e., fast (5)
I believe the answer is:
rapid
'fast' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'the right to get paid as required i e' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'paid' is 'apid' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rapid that I've seen before include "Speedy (5)" , "haste" , "Zippy" , "Showing pace" , "Brisk" .)
