Crossword Genius

Encouraged, say, and back again by daughter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egged

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'encouraged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'say and back again by daughter' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'back again by daughter' becomes 'ged' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'eg'+'ged'='EGGED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egged that I've seen before include "Urged in ovoid manner" , "Urged with hen fruit?" , "Encouraged" , "Urged with ova?" .)
