Cite article about chronic fatigue syndrome (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

name

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cite' is the definition.
(I know that cite can be written as name)

'article about chronic fatigue syndrome' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'chronic fatigue syndrome' becomes 'me' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an' written backwards gives 'na'.
'na'+'me'='NAME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for name that I've seen before include "Handel, for example" , "Appoint - famous person" , "By which one is known" , "By which a person is known" , "Specify; famous person" .)
