Expected to have quiet daughter fooled (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duped

'fooled' is the definition.
('dupe' can be a synonym of 'fool')

'expected to have quiet daughter' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'to have' indicates putting letters inside.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'due' going around 'p' is 'dupe'.
'dupe'+'d'='DUPED'

(Other definitions for duped that I've seen before include "Bamboozled" , "Cheated" , "Deceived" , "Hoodwinked and misled" , "Fooled, codded" .)
