"Dear old" family member (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dad

'dear old family member' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dad that I've seen before include "Popular father - a palindrome" , "Pop, pater" , "Mum's mate" , "Papa" , "Pa" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
