Wages for the right entrant (7)
I believe the answer is:
incomer
'entrant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wages for the right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'income' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incomer that I've seen before include "New member of a community" , "Recent arrival" , "No native" , "Perhaps asylum seeker" , "New resident where he was not born" .)
