Daughter has strange snare (4)
I believe the answer is:
drum
'snare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'daughter has strange' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'strange' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'rum'='DRUM'
(Other definitions for drum that I've seen before include "Bongo" , "Large barrel" , "Empty" , "Cylindrical metal container" , "beat" .)
