Crossword Genius

Quiet member of the family? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mum

This clue is a double definition.

'quiet' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'member of the family?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for mum that I've seen before include "Silence" , "member of the family" , "Informal palindromic mother" , "Mother - she's the word for secrecy" , "Quiet; relative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
