Disconsolate daughter expelled (8)
I believe the answer is:
dejected
'disconsolate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'daughter expelled' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'expelled' becomes 'ejected' ('eject' can be a synonym of 'expel').
'd'+'ejected'='DEJECTED'
(Other definitions for dejected that I've seen before include "Depressed and cast down" , "Down in the mouth" , "Melancholy" , "Downhearted" , "Downcast" .)
