Script from ethnic Chinese daughter (4)
I believe the answer is:
hand
'script' is the definition.
(I know that script can be written as hand)
'ethnic chinese daughter' is the wordplay.
'ethnic chinese' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty. I am not sure about the 'ethnic' bit.).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'han'+'d'='HAND'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Pledge of marriage" , "Fingered organ" , "Unit of equine measurement" , "Given cards" , "Round of applause" .)
