Tell on nobleman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recount

'tell' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'on nobleman' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'nobleman' becomes 'count' (count is a type of aristocrat).
're'+'count'='RECOUNT'

(Other definitions for recount that I've seen before include "Go over details" , "Communicate" , "Check numbers" , "post-election procedure?" , "Give report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
