Crossword Genius

A daughter likely to conform (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adapt

'conform' is the definition.
('adapt' can be a synonym of 'conform')

'a daughter likely' is the wordplay.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'likely' becomes 'apt' ('apt' can be similar in meaning to 'likely').
'ad'+'apt'='ADAPT'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for adapt that I've seen before include "Make fit" , "Put to particular use" , "Tailor" , "Change to fit new circumstances" , "Convert to another use or situation" .)
