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

'daughter with another daughter embraced by drunk aussie' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'another daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'another' bit.).
'embraced by' indicates putting letters inside.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'aussie' is an anagram of 'issuae'.
'd' put inside 'issuae' is 'issuade'.
'd'+'issuade'='DISSUADE'
