See papa getting bothered over daughter being placated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appeased

'being placated' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'see papa getting bothered over daughter' is the wordplay.
'getting bothered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'see'+'papa'='seepapa'
'seepapa' is an anagram of 'appease'.
'appease'+'d'='APPEASED'

(Other definitions for appeased that I've seen before include "Placated, pacified" , "Changed a deep sap and mollified" , "Conciliated" , "Assuaged, mollified" , "Calmed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
