Not even adjusted, yet right (5)

I believe the answer is:

never

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'even adjusted yet right' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' is an anagram indicator.
'yet right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'yet' bit.).
'even' is an anagram of 'neve'.
'neve'+'r'='NEVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for never that I've seen before include "Do not give up!" , "No way" , "Certainly not!" , "Surely not" , "I refuse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
