Crossword Genius

Daughter, with rodent moving around, walked on (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trodden

'walked on' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'daughter with rodent moving' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'moving' is an anagram indicator.
'd'+'rodent'='drodent'
'drodent' is an anagram of 'TRODDEN'.

'around' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trodden that I've seen before include "Oppressed" , "Heavily walked upon" , "Stepped on" , "Trampled" , "Crushed under the feet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
