Work socially acceptable advanced as worth a lot (7)
I believe the answer is:
opulent
'worth a lot' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'work socially acceptable advanced' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'socially acceptable' becomes 'U' (as in U and non-U language).
'advanced' becomes 'lent' (advance can mean to lend).
'op'+'u'+'lent'='OPULENT'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opulent that I've seen before include "Prosperous" , "Well-to-do or lavish" , "Well-to-do, rich" , "Well-to-dp. affluent" , "No let-up (anag)" .)
