Crossword Genius

Instruct famous archer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tell

I believe this is a double definition.

'instruct' is the first definition.
(I know that instruct is a more specific form of the action tell)

'famous archer' is the second definition.
(William Tell)

(Other definitions for tell that I've seen before include "Apprise" , "William .... was legendary Swiss hero-archer" , "Inform - count - Swiss hero" , "Legendary Swiss crossbowman and folk hero" , "Grass - Swiss hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
