Give one the right name? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entitle

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

'name?' is the definition.
(both can mean to give someone a name)

'give one the right' is the wordplay.
'give one' becomes 'en' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the right' becomes 'title' (title is a kind of right).
'en'+'title'='ENTITLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entitle that I've seen before include "term" , "Furnish with a right or claim" , "Name; enable" , "Give a right or authority to" , "Call; permit" .)

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