Being inexperienced, I leave everything with daughter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unversed

'being inexperienced' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'i leave everything with daughter' is the wordplay.
'leave' is a deletion indicator.
'everything' becomes 'universe' (everything in the universe).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'universe' with 'i' taken away is 'unverse'.
'unverse'+'d'='UNVERSED'

(Other definitions for unversed that I've seen before include "Lacking skill" , "Not in rhyme" , "Green" , "Not experienced or skilled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
