'lippy' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'daughter seen in french street' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'seen in' indicates putting letters inside.
'french street' becomes 'rue' (French for street or road).
'd' put within 'rue' is 'RUDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rude that I've seen before include "Impolite or vulgar" , "Insolent" , "Discourteous or unrefined" , "Impolite; basic" , "Uncivil" .)
