Sam the pawnbroker? (5)
I believe the answer is:
uncle
This clue might be a double definition.
'sam' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'the pawnbroker?' is the second definition.
(old-fashioned term for a pawnbroker)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "Grandfather's son" , "Law enforcement body" , "Male relation; pawnbroker" , "Dad's brother" , "Pawnbroker's nickname" .)
