Crossword Genius

Fizzy element consumed by daughter (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carbonated

'fizzy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'element consumed by daughter' is the wordplay.
'element' becomes 'carbon' (carbon is a kind of element**).
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (eating is a kind of consuming).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'carbon'+'ate'+'d'='CARBONATED'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
