Estimated by comparison; not absolute (8)

I believe the answer is:

relative

(Other definitions for relative that I've seen before include "Person related by blood or marriage" , "One connected by blood or marriage" , "Proportional, not absolute" , "Correspondent" , "uncle, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
