Again relative turned up (3)
I believe the answer is:
bis
'again' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'relative turned up' is the wordplay.
'relative' becomes 'sib' (sib is a kind of relative).
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'sib' written backwards gives 'BIS'.
(Other definitions for bis that I've seen before include "second time" , "To be repeated (music)" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
