Leverage daughter paid for (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

purchased

'paid for' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leverage daughter' is the wordplay.
'leverage' becomes 'purchase' (I've seen this before).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'purchase'+'d'='PURCHASED'

(Other definitions for purchased that I've seen before include "picked up" , "paid for" , "Got hold of" , "Bought" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
