Overshadowed daughter's battle to get nourished (7)

I believe the answer is:

dwarfed

'overshadowed' is the definition.
('dwarf' can be a synonym of 'overshadow')

'daughter's battle to get nourished' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'battle' becomes 'war' (I've seen this before**).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nourished' becomes 'fed' (I've seen this before).
'd'+'war'+'fed'='DWARFED'

(Another definition for dwarfed that I've seen is " Made to look small".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
