Reginald gets one of King Lear's daughters (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of king lear's daughters' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'reginald gets' is the wordplay.
'reginald' becomes 'Reg' (short for Reginald).
'gets' becomes 'an' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'reg'+'an'='REGAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regan that I've seen before include "Work team" , "One of King Lear's daughters" , "Possessed gir" , "Shakespearean baddie" , "king's daughter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
