A daughter in flight for an adventure (8)
I believe the answer is:
escapade
'an adventure' is the definition.
('escapade' can be a synonym of 'adventure')
'a daughter in flight' is the wordplay.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'flight' becomes 'escape' ('escape' can be a synonym of 'flight'**).
'ad' inserted within 'escape' is 'ESCAPADE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for escapade that I've seen before include "Wild adventure" , "Risky adventure" , "Daring stunt" , "A reckless or mischievous adventure" , "Jolly jape" .)
