Give one's address (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

orate

speak

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

'address' is the definition.
(I know that address can be written as speak)

'give one's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spek' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for speak that I've seen before include "Talk" , "Utter words" , "give a lecture" , "Orate" , "Say something" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
