Gave credit where credit was due, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cited

(Other definitions for cited that I've seen before include "Summoned" , "Commended" , "Made reference to -- edict (anag)" , "Called for" , "Quoted or mentioned as example" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
