Hang around with daughter and partner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dally

'hang around' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter and partner' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'partner' becomes 'ally' (an ally is an associate or supporter).
'd'+'ally'='DALLY'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for dally that I've seen before include "Move slowly" , "Have an affair with" , "Waste time" , "Linger" , "take time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
