Given name of boy with elederly relative (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

granted

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

'given' is the definition.
(I know that given can be written as granted)

'name of boy with elederly relative' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'ted' and 'ted' is present in the answer.
'boy' could be 'gran' and 'gran' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for granted that I've seen before include "Given; allowed" , "Admittedly; gave formally" , "One doesn't like being taken for it" , "Conceded" , "Admittedly; given" .)
