Hurried woman has father coming round (6)

I believe the answer is:

dashed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hurried' is the definition.
(dashing is a kind of hurrying)

'woman has father coming round' is the wordplay.
'woman has' becomes 'she' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'father' becomes 'dad' (informal term for father).
'coming round' is an insertion indicator.
'she' going within 'dad' is 'DASHED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dashed that I've seen before include "Thrown down or ran fast" , "Threw down or ran fast" , "Ran quickly, rushed" , "Cast down as hopes may be" , "Confounded" .)
