Daughter wearing five rings, rings for witchcraft (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

voodoo

'witchcraft' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter wearing five rings rings' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'five' becomes 'v' ('V' can be a synonym of 'five').
'rings' becomes 'oo' (multiple circles).
'rings' becomes 'oo' (multiple circles).
'v'+'oo'+'oo'='voooo'
'd' inserted into 'voooo' is 'VOODOO'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for voodoo that I've seen before include "System of witchcraft" , "Religious cult, involves witchcraft and animal deities" , "Jinx" , "Religious cult practised in Haiti, involves witchcraft" , "In the air" .)
