A daughter calling for entry (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admission

'entry' is the definition.
(admission is a kind of entry)

'a daughter calling' is the wordplay.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'calling' becomes 'mission' (I've seen this before).
'ad'+'mission'='ADMISSION'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for admission that I've seen before include "Acknowledgment of the truth of something" , "concession" , "Permission to enter" , "A confessing" , "Acknowledgment of crime" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
