Crossword Genius

Daughter, robust but stupefied (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drugged

'stupefied' is the definition.
(drugged might mean in a stupefied state)

'daughter robust' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'robust' becomes 'rugged' (similar in meaning).
'd'+'rugged'='DRUGGED'

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drugged that I've seen before include "knocked out" , "Anaesthetised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
