Akin, so it is said (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

related

'akin' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for related that I've seen before include "Connected, by kinship say" , "Agnate" , "were sympathetic" , "spilled the beans" , "Connected by family ties" .)
