Dad's brother (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uncle

'dad's brother' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "Sam, perhaps" , "takes the pledge" , "Brother of one's parent" , "Grandfather's son" , "For example, Tom Cobbleigh" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
