'one daily probably' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'father gets through' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'through' becomes 'per' ('per' can mean through or by means of).
'pa'+'per'='PAPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paper that I've seen before include "Journal" , "Scholarly article" , "Written essay" , "Daily publication" , "First wedding anniversary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
