Parking fine daughter settled (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paid

'settled' is the definition.
(paying is a kind of settling)

'parking fine daughter' is the wordplay.
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'fine' becomes 'ai' (I've seen this in other clues).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'p'+'ai'+'d'='PAID'

(Other definitions for paid that I've seen before include "Settled the bill" , "Trite phrase" , "Gave money for goods or services" , "Settled debt" , "Compensated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
