Daughter takes rent for weed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drip

'weed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter takes rent' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'takes' says to put letters next to each other.
'rent' becomes 'rip' (synonyms).
'd'+'rip'='DRIP'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for drip that I've seen before include "Sissy" , "wet blanket" , "Soppy person" , "Hospital device; weak person" , "Fall in drops - weedy bloke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
