Live adequately next door to daughter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dwell

'live' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'adequately next door to daughter' is the wordplay.
'adequately' becomes 'well' (both can mean to a sufficient extent).
'next door to' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'well' after 'd' is 'DWELL'.

(Other definitions for dwell that I've seen before include "Settle" , "Think moodily (on something)" , "Abide, reside" , "stay" , "Reside - linger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
