Relative time taken in making yuan convertible (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aunty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relative' is the definition.
(aunty is a kind of relative)

'time taken in making yuan convertible' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'yuan' is 'auny' which is within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aunty that I've seen before include "A parent's sister" , "Joined by this relation" , "Female relative" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
