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

'daughter and son over gold' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'wd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'wd'+'s'='wds'
'wds' enclosing 'or' is 'WORDS'.

'with' is the link.
