Member of family can let urge get out of control (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

great-uncle

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

'member of family' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'can let urge get out of control' is the wordplay.
'get out of control' indicates an anagram.
'can'+'let'+'urge'='canleturge'
'canleturge' anagrammed gives 'GREAT-UNCLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for great-uncle that I've seen is " Relative".)
