Spoke to a daughter then put clothes on (9)
I believe the answer is:
addressed
'spoke to' is the definition.
('address' can be a synonym of 'speak to')
'a daughter then put clothes on' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'then' says to put letters next to each other.
'put clothes on' becomes 'dressed' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'d'+'dressed'='ADDRESSED'
(Other definitions for addressed that I've seen before include "Spoke to" , "Gave attention to a problem" , "Marked mail with its destination" , "Spoken to" , "Gave a speech to" .)
