Compelling daughter to call around six (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

driving

'compelling' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter to call around six' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'to call' becomes 'ring' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call'**).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'ring' enclosing 'vi' is 'riving'.
'd'+'riving'='DRIVING'

(Other definitions for driving that I've seen before include "(and 2) Document permitting one to operate vehicle on the roads" , "(Of rain) being blown strongly by the wind" , "In charge of a motor vehicle" , "Behind the wheel" , "Compelling; directing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
