Need to send daughter over (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ended

'over' is the definition.
(over can mean finished or ended)

'need to send daughter' is the wordplay.
'to send' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'sending' mean this (letters are sent to different positions)).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'need' is an anagram of 'ende'.
'ende'+'d'='ENDED'

(Other definitions for ended that I've seen before include "Brought to a finish" , "Broke off; finished" , "Finished, terminated" , "Having come to a conclusion" , "wound up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
