Daughter is left to play about (7)
I believe the answer is:
disport
'play about' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'daughter is left' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'dis'+'port'='DISPORT'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for disport that I've seen before include "to have a good time" , "Play about" , "Amuse" , "Cavort, lark about" .)
