Let race run out of daughter's complex (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electra

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

'daughter's complex' is the definition.
'Electra' can be an answer for 'complex' (Electra complex is an example). I am not certain of the 'daughter's' bit.

'let race run' is the wordplay.
'run' indicates anagramming the letters.
'let'+'race'='letrace'
'letrace' is an anagram of 'ELECTRA'.

'out of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electra that I've seen before include "Agamemnon's child" , "type of complex" , "Greek heroine (with a complex!)" , "Greek mythic woman has an odd Celt ear" , "legendary Greek daughter" .)
