Astute on stage, one tamed daughter (6)
I believe the answer is:
shrewd
'astute' is the definition.
(I know that astute can be written as shrewd)
'on stage one tamed daughter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is located in the answer.
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shrewd that I've seen before include "worldly wise" , "... knowing" , "Canny and calculating" , "Canny and clever" , "Astute, calculating" .)
