Spurned daughter is yearned for (9)
I believe the answer is:
dismissed
'spurned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'daughter is yearned for' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is yearned for' becomes 'missed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dis'+'missed'='DISMISSED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dismissed that I've seen before include "Fired" , "Brushed off or sacked" , "Spurned" , "put out of court" .)
