A witticism from aunt? (5)

I believe the answer is:

sally

I believe this is a double definition.

'a witticism' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'aunt?' is the second definition.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sally that I've seen before include "A sortie or witty remark" , "Go out" , "Rush out suddenly" , "Sarah might make a witty remark about the willow" , "one in 3 the 12 30 [DROP the DEAD DONKEY]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
