Daughter on border gets nicked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edged

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

'daughter on border' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'border' becomes 'edge' ('edge' can be a synonym of 'border').
'd' put after 'edge' is 'EDGED'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for edged that I've seen before include "Bordered" , "Moved sideways slowly" , "Provided with a border" , "so moved forward slowly" , "Trimmed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
