One carried by father to paved area (5)
I believe the answer is:
patio
'paved area' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one carried by father to' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'carried by' indicates putting letters inside.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'pa'+'to'='pato'
'i' placed into 'pato' is 'PATIO'.
(Other definitions for patio that I've seen before include "Where Barbie might be held" , "area near house" , "Spanish court" , "Place to sit" , "inner court" .)
