Relative confused icon around America (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cousin

'relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'confused icon around america' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'america' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States).
'icon' with letters rearranged gives 'coin'.
'coin' enclosing 'us' is 'COUSIN'.

(Other definitions for cousin that I've seen before include "Child of one's uncle or aunt" , "Son or daughter of an uncle or aunt" , "Family relative" , "person once removed?" , "Aunt/uncle's child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
