'something in return' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'daughter wearing joke jumper is without question' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' and 'd' is found in the answer.
'joke' could be 'quip' (quipping is a kind of joking) and 'quip' is found in the remaining letters.
'question' could be 'qu' and 'qu' is found within the answer.
'jumper' could be 'roo' (I've seen this before) and 'roo' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'getting' acts as a link.
