Crossword Genius

Walks over to find relative (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stepson

'relative' is the definition.
(stepson is a kind of relative)

'walks over' is the wordplay.
'walks' becomes 'steps' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over' becomes 'on' (physically on top of).
'steps'+'on'='STEPSON'

'to find' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stepson that I've seen before include "underfoot?" , "indirectly related issue" , "Relation, not by blood" , "partner's sprog" , "No pests about this relation by marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
