Mother's brother (5)

I believe the answer is:

uncle

(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "One receiving pawn" , "Family relation" , "older relative" , "Grandfather's son" , "Male relation; pawnbroker" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Star Tribune and the Sydney Morning Herald.
