Grant complete with round wife (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allow

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

'grant' is the definition.
(I know that grant can be written as allow)

'complete with round wife' is the wordplay.
'complete with' becomes 'all' (similar in meaning. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'all'+'o'+'w'='ALLOW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for allow that I've seen before include "Permit or agree" , "Tolerate" , "OK" , "Acknowledge - concede" , "Give leave to" .)
