Daughter is better again and will live (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dwell

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

'live' is the definition.
(to live/dwell somewhere)

'daughter is better' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'is better' becomes 'well' (similar in meaning).
'd'+'well'='DWELL'

'again and will' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dwell that I've seen before include "Abide, reside" , "Think moodily (on something)" , "Live (in a place)" , "Harp" , "Hang out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
