Package to put right in place, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parcel

'package' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'right in place perhaps' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'place' anagrammed gives 'pacel'.
'r' placed into 'pacel' is 'PARCEL'.

'to put' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for parcel that I've seen before include "Package wrapped in paper" , "Package; piece of land" , "Paper-wrapped package" , "Something wrapped up in package, as for posting" , "Wrapped container" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
