Worth putting right in time, possibly (5)
I believe the answer is:
merit
'worth' is the definition.
(I know that merit is a type of worth)
'right in time possibly' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'time' is an anagram of 'meit'.
'r' going into 'meit' is 'MERIT'.
'putting' is the link.
(Other definitions for merit that I've seen before include "credit" , "Good point or quality" , "The M in OM" , "Deserve or warrant" , "Goodness" .)
