Kinship of family housing second husband (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brotherhood

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

'kinship' is the definition.
(I know that brotherhood is a type of kinship)

'family housing second husband' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'second' could be 'other' (I've seen this before) and 'other' is located in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' and 'h' is found in the answer.
'family' could be 'brood' (I've seen this before) and 'brood' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brotherhood that I've seen before include "Feeling of close kinship" , "union" , "association" , "Fraternity" , "Community" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
