Daughter feeling a loss of status (8)
I believe the answer is:
demotion
'a loss of status' is the definition.
'daughter feeling' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'feeling' becomes 'emotion' (emotion is a kind of feeling).
'd'+'emotion'='DEMOTION'
(Other definitions for demotion that I've seen before include "The putting down" , "Forced loss of rank" , "put down" , "Motioned about reduction in rank" , "A lowering in rank or position" .)
