Give a bow and get set to run through (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bestow

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

'give' is the definition.
(bestowing is a kind of giving)

'a bow and get set to run through' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'get' could be 'be' ('get' can mean 'come to be') and 'be' is present in the answer.
'set' could be 'stow' (stowing is a kind of setting) and 'stow' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bestow that I've seen before include "Confer (an honour)" , "Grant" , "'Confer, present (6)'" , "Endow, present" , "Confer - impart" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
