Crossword Genius

Relatives unusually being flexible (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

versatile

'flexible' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'relatives unusually' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'relatives' with letters rearranged gives 'VERSATILE'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for versatile that I've seen before include "Capable of many functions" , "Multiskilled" , "Able to adapt" , "Good at adapting oneself" , "Having many uses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
