Gave an address to read out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orated

'gave an address' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'to read out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to'+'read'='toread'
'toread' anagrammed gives 'ORATED'.

(Other definitions for orated that I've seen before include "lectured" , "Talked pompously" , "Made speeches" , "Spoke at length" , "made a speech" .)

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