Mislead daughter with dodge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delude

'mislead' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter with dodge' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'dodge' becomes 'elude' ('elude' can be a synonym of 'dodge').
'd'+'elude'='DELUDE'

(Other definitions for delude that I've seen before include "Mislead, beguile" , "Kid" , "swindle" , "Make someone believe something that's not true" , "Mislead or fool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
