Embarrassed daughter when confronted again outside (3-5)

I believe the answer is:

red-faced

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'daughter when confronted again outside' is the wordplay.
'daughter when' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'confronted again' becomes 'refaced' ('faced' can be a synonym for 'confronted' so perhaps 'refaced' is OK for 'confronted again').
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'd' put inside 'refaced' is 'RED-FACED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for red-faced that I've seen before include "Blushing" , "Rubicund" , "Colourfully embarrassed" , "Having glowing visage, embarrassed" , "Visibly ashamed" .)
