Point to daughter, getting up (3)
I believe the answer is:
dot
'point' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'to daughter getting up' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'getting up' is a reversal indicator.
'to'+'d'='tod'
'tod' in reverse letter order is 'DOT'.
(Other definitions for dot that I've seen before include "Shorter of the two signals used in Morse code" , "Long-ago year?" , "Speck; dowry" , "Spot, speck" , "Full stop, point" .)
