Candice's father (5)
I believe the answer is:
edgar
'candice's father' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for edgar that I've seen before include "J. -- Hoover, FBI boss" , "Grade (anag)" , "10th-century king" , "Edmund's brother (Lear)" , "Earl's son" .)
