Turn right in some land (6)

I believe the answer is:

sprain

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

'turn right in some land' is the definition.
'sprain' can be an answer for 'turn' ('sprain' can be a synonym of 'turn'). I am unsure of the 'right in some land' bit.

'turn right' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'sp' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'right' becomes 'rain' (I have seen 'The right' mean 'rain' so perhaps 'right' could also mean 'rain').
'sp'+'rain'='SPRAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sprain that I've seen before include "Wrench (ligaments)" , "Turn" , "Wrench a joint" , "Wrench, dislocate" , "Pull" .)
