Awkward relative — bachelor that may be turned away (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avertible

'that may be turned away' is the definition.
(something it is possible to turn away from)

'awkward relative bachelor' is the wordplay.
'awkward' indicates an anagram.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'relative'+'b'='relativeb'
'relativeb' anagrammed gives 'AVERTIBLE'.
