'mum' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'dad morally correct raising henry with qualifications' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'dad' could be 'parent' and 'parent' is found within the answer.
'henry' could be 'h' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance) and 'h' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parenthetical that I've seen before include "Qualifying" , "(Word or phrase) in brackets" , "Using brackets" , "Intervening" , "(as this writing is)" .)
