Give people one's address (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orate

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

This could be a double definition.

'give' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'people one's address' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "make speeches" , "Lecture" , "Speak formally" , "Make a flowery speech" , "Speaker may" .)
