Payment getting daughter a meal? (4)
I believe the answer is:
feed
'a meal?' is the definition.
(feed can mean food)
'payment getting daughter' is the wordplay.
'payment' becomes 'fee' (payment for a job).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'fee'+'d'='FEED'
(Other definitions for feed that I've seen before include "Given payment" , "take grub" , "Take food" , "take courses" , "Straight man" .)
