Relative travels around globe (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orb

'globe' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'relative travels around' is the wordplay.
'relative' becomes 'bro' (short for brother).
'travels around' is a reversal indicator (turned around).
'bro' backwards is 'ORB'.

(Other definitions for orb that I've seen before include "Royal sphere (paired with 13 across)" , "Ceremonial globe carried by a monarch" , "Item of insignia" , "component of royal regalia" , "A sphere or globe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
