Misguided daughter escaped (7)
I believe the answer is:
deluded
'misguided' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'daughter escaped' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'escaped' becomes 'eluded' (eluding is a kind of escaping).
'd'+'eluded'='DELUDED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deluded that I've seen before include "Holding false beliefs" , "mistaken" , "Deceived or misled" , "Deceived into false belief" , "hoodwinked" .)
