Crossword Genius

Fiasco, using grasping member of family (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cousin

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

'family' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'fiasco using grasping member' is the wordplay.
'COUSIN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cousin that I've seen before include "Address used among sovereigns" , "US icon is an odd relative" , "Aunt's/uncle's child" , "Strange US icon is a relative" , "Family relation" .)
