Grant regularly paid with in Germany (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admit

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

'grant' is the definition.
(grant can mean to agree or admit something)

'regularly paid with in germany' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'with in germany' becomes 'mit' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The alternate letters of 'paid' are 'ad'.
'ad'+'mit'='ADMIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for admit that I've seen before include "Disclose" , "Usher in" , "Agree to the truth" , "permit to come in" , "Take on" .)
