Good lady relatively haggard (5)

I believe the answer is:

gaunt

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

'haggard' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'good lady relatively' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'lady relatively' becomes 'aunt' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'g'+'aunt'='GAUNT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gaunt that I've seen before include "Very thin especially from disease or hunger" , "Drawn" , "Lean and haggard" , "Bleak" , "birthplace of Edward's son" .)
