Crossword Genius

Issue English fellow took in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emanate

'issue' is the definition.
(both can mean to give out or radiate)

'english fellow took in' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'took in' becomes 'ate' ('eat' can be a synonym of 'take in').
'e'+'man'+'ate'='EMANATE'

(Other definitions for emanate that I've seen before include "spring" , "Rise" , "Come out (of source)" , "Send out" , "Give out, emit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
