Crossword Genius

Sins of wicked people daughter overlooked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evils

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

'wicked people daughter overlooked' is the wordplay.
'wicked people' becomes 'devils' (I've seen this before).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'overlooked' is a deletion indicator.
'devils' with 'd' taken away is 'EVILS'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for evils that I've seen before include "Lives (anag.)" , "transgressions" , "Sins and depravities" , "immoral actions" , "Iniquities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
