Shot tiger's head held by country gentleman and daughter (8)
I believe the answer is:
squirted
'shot' is the definition.
'tiger's head held by country gentleman and daughter' is the wordplay.
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
'held by' indicates putting letters inside.
'country gentleman' becomes 'squire' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
The first letter of 'tigers' is 't'.
't' put within 'squire' is 'squirte'.
'squirte'+'d'='SQUIRTED'
(Other definitions for squirted that I've seen before include "Ejected liquid in a thin, fast stream" , "Shot liquid out in a narrow jet" , "Spurted liquid" .)
