Crossword Genius

Shouted to the daughter held captive below (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thundered

'shouted' is the definition.
(thundering is a kind of shouting)

'the daughter held captive below' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'held captive' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'below' becomes 'under' (synonyms).
'the'+'d'='thed'
'thed' enclosing 'under' is 'THUNDERED'.

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for thundered that I've seen is " Did like the Times".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
