The Man from ___ (1960s' US spy fiction TV series) (5)

I believe the answer is:

uncle

(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "Male relation; pawnbroker" , "takes the pledge" , "Pawnbroker's nickname" , "one who's taken the pledge" , "One receiving pawn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
