Give address that's fancy, not new (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orate

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

'give address that's fancy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'not new' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'new' becomes 'rate' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'o'+'rate'='ORATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Harangue" , "Speak pompously and at length" , "Lecture" , "Make a formal speech" , "Spout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
