Dissuade daughter on tree cultivation (5)
I believe the answer is:
deter
'dissuade' is the definition.
(I know that dissuade can be written as deter)
'daughter on tree cultivation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'tree' is 'eter' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deter that I've seen before include "Put (someone) off" , "Prevent by instilling fear" , "Try to prevent" , "Hinder, prevent" , "Inhibit" .)
