After warning, put up with distant relative (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forebear

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

'distant relative' is the definition.
'forebear' can be an answer for 'relative' (forebear is a kind of relative). I'm not sure about the 'distant' bit.

'after warning put up with' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'warning' becomes 'fore' (shouted in golf).
'put up with' becomes 'bear' (synonyms).
'fore' next to 'bear' is 'FOREBEAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for forebear that I've seen before include "Older relative" , "one from the past" , "One of an earlier generation" , "Person from whom you are descended" , "Ancestor" .)
