Follow, seeing daughter turn up (3)
I believe the answer is:
dog
'follow' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'daughter turn up' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'go' written backwards gives 'og'.
'd'+'og'='DOG'
'seeing' is the link.
(Other definitions for dog that I've seen before include "Domesticated canine" , "Follow closely; animal" , "Sort of collar, fight, days" , "St Bernard, for example" , "Hound" .)
