Releases father to take parts (7)

I believe the answer is:

paroles

'releases' is the definition.
(I know this)

'father to take parts' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'to take' says to put letters next to each other.
'parts' becomes 'roles' (parts in a play).
'pa'+'roles'='PAROLES'
