Hang around a hot-headed relative (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haunt

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

'hang around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a hot-headed relative' is the wordplay.
'a hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'headed relative' becomes 'aunt' (aunt is a kind of relative. I am not sure about the 'headed' bit.).
'h'+'aunt'='HAUNT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for haunt that I've seen before include "favourite spot" , "Unhat (anag.)" , "A favourite place" , "Regular stamping ground" , "Place regularly frequented" .)
