Father and daughter getting promotion (3)
I believe the answer is:
dad
'father' is the definition.
(dad is a kind of father)
'daughter getting promotion' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'promotion' becomes 'ad' (ad is a kind of promotion).
'd'+'ad'='DAD'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for dad that I've seen before include "Mum's mate" , "Papa" , "Pa" , "Popular and informal father" , "Father, in short" .)
