Relative wearing adult hot pants (8-2-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daughter-in-law

'relative' is the definition.
(daughter-in-law is a kind of relative)

'wearing adult hot pants' is the subsidiary indication.
'hot' becomes 'h'.
'pants' is an anagram indicator (UK informal term for \'nonsense\' or \'rubbish\').
'wearing'+'adult'+'h'='wearingadulth'
'wearingadulth' with letters rearranged gives 'daughterinlaw'.

(Other definitions for daughter-in-law that I've seen before include "Woman married to one's child" , "One's son's wife" , "Female relative by marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
