Crossword Genius

Bearing an account (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relation

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bearing' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'account' is the second definition.
(I know that relation is a type of narration)

'an' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for relation that I've seen before include "Kinship; narrative" , "Mum or dad" , "Eg, father" , "Person connected by blood or marriage" , "Connection; narrative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
