Grand female relative skinny (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaunt

'skinny' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'grand female relative' is the wordplay.
'grand' becomes 'G' (G is short for ground as in a thousand).
'female relative' becomes 'aunt' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'aunt'='GAUNT'

(Other definitions for gaunt that I've seen before include "Hence John" , "Very slight" , "Drawn" , "Grim" , "Thin or emaciated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
