Daughter hiding inside to avoid notice (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'notice' is the definition.
(notice can mean an advertisement)

'daughter hiding inside to avoid' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is found in the answer.
'avoid' could be 'avert' (synonyms) and 'avert' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for advert that I've seen before include "Commercial (abbr)" , "Publicity item" , "Call attention or allude to" , "piece of publicity" , "Notice promoting goods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
