Get confused with nuclear family member (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great-uncle

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

'family member' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'get confused with nuclear' is the wordplay.
'confused with' indicates an anagram.
'get' anagrammed with 'nuclear' makes 'GREAT-UNCLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for great-uncle that I've seen is " Relative".)
