Give the right (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entitle

'give the right' is the definition.
(someone entitled to something has a right to it)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for entitle that I've seen before include "Qualify, empower" , "Give a right (to someone to do something)" , "Style; give right to" , "Allow" , "Name; empower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The New York Times.
