Want to leave daughter land (5)
I believe the answer is:
earth
'land' is the definition.
(I know that land can be written as earth)
'want to leave daughter' is the wordplay.
'want' becomes 'dearth' (both can mean a lack or scarcity).
'to leave' indicates named letters should be taken away (some letters are left out).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'dearth' with 'd' taken away is 'EARTH'.
(Other definitions for earth that I've seen before include "Third rock from the Sun" , "Human world" , "Heart of clay" , "Make electrics safe" , "Land" .)
