Didn't eat feast laid out by daughter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fasted

'didn't eat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'feast laid out by daughter' is the wordplay.
'laid out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'feast' is an anagram of 'faste'.
'faste'+'d'='FASTED'

(Other definitions for fasted that I've seen before include "Didn't eat" , "Abstained from food as in penance" , "dieted?" , "Went voluntarily without food" , "Went without food for a period" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
