'broad stretch of time?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'daughter always fair' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'always' becomes 'ay'.
'fair' becomes 'light' (I've seen this before**).
'd'+'ay'+'light'='DAYLIGHT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for daylight that I've seen before include "that dawns on us" , "Natural illumination" , "robbery, sort of" , "Clear distance from" , "Diurnal illumination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
