Father took daughter home (3)
I believe the answer is:
pad
'home' is the definition.
(pad can mean a person's home)
'father took daughter' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'took' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'pa'+'d'='PAD'
(Other definitions for pad that I've seen before include "pack" , "Helicopter stand" , "Piece of soft material or bachelor's flat" , "Protective guard; home" , "suitable for writers" .)
