Is daughter given order to follow women's good sense? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wisdom

'good sense?' is the definition.
(good sense is a kind of wisdom)

'is daughter given order to follow women's' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'order' becomes 'om' (Order of Merit).
'to follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'is'+'d'='isd'
'isd' next to 'om' is 'isdom'.
'isdom' after 'w' is 'WISDOM'.

(Other definitions for wisdom that I've seen before include "Learning, knowledge" , "Accumulated experience and mature judgement" , "Knowledge gained through experience" , "These teeth" , "Knowledge coupled with good judgement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
