Daughter raised gold staff (3)
I believe the answer is:
rod
'staff' is the definition.
(both can mean a pole or stick)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "Angler's cane" , "Sceptre" , "something fisherman brings home" , "Former measure equal to a quarter of a chain" , "Fishing pole" .)
