Crossword Genius

Daughter had swallowed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

downed

'swallowed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'daughter had' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'had' becomes 'owned' ('own' can be a synonym of 'have').
'd'+'owned'='DOWNED'

(Other definitions for downed that I've seen before include "drunk" , "Swallowed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
