uncle
Aunt's husband, perhaps
Uncle is a parent's brother, or the husband of a parent's sibling.
Extended to any older man treated with familial affection or respect: Uncle Joe always brought candy when he visited.
To cry uncle or say uncle is to surrender or admit defeat, especially in childhood roughhousing: He twisted my arm until I said uncle.
