Crossword Genius

Fee daughter considered (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rated

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

'fee daughter' is the wordplay.
'fee' becomes 'rate' (I've seen this in other clues).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'rate'+'d'='RATED'

(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "Reckoned" , "Adjudged" , "deserved" , "Taxed" , "Estimated the value or assigned a ranking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
