Ross

I believe the answer is:

sisters

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

'relatives' is the definition.
(I know that sis is a type of relatives)

'nemesis tersely implicates' is the wordplay.
'SISTERS' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sisters that I've seen before include "Patient attention required from such" , "Nuns' titles" , "Resists (anag)" , "Aunts may be" , "Members of the family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
