I believe the answer is:

aunt

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

'relative?' is the definition.
(aunt is a type of relative)

'fauntleroy's' is the wordplay.
'AUNT' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aunt that I've seen before include "kinswoman" , "Tuna gone bad for the relative" , "Close relative" , "Family relative" , "Charley's ___ , farce staged in London in 1892, revived and adapted ever since" .)
