Scrooge, to Donald Duck (5)

I believe the answer is:

uncle

(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "For example, Tom Cobbleigh" , "Male relative - pawnbroker" , "one who's taken the pledge" , "Male relation; pawnbroker" , "Law enforcement body" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
