Bring about English translation of Latin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entail

'bring about' is the definition.
(entailing is a kind of bringing about)

'english translation of latin' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'translation of' indicates anagramming the letters (translate can mean to transform).
'latin' is an anagram of 'ntail'.
'e'+'ntail'='ENTAIL'

(Other definitions for entail that I've seen before include "Estate settled" , "Inalienable estate" , "Involve or make necessary" , "Occasion" , "Invlove or necessitate" .)
