uncle-in-law
Married-in male relative
An uncle-in-law is the uncle of one's spouse, or the husband of one's aunt.
The term clarifies that the relationship comes through marriage rather than blood: My uncle-in-law runs a furniture store in Denver.
Like other in-law terms, it can feel clinical—many people simply say "my uncle" regardless of the technical relationship.
