Issue label returning with a note (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emanate

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

'label returning with a note' is the wordplay.
'label' becomes 'name' (naming is a kind of labelling).
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note).
'name' back-to-front is 'eman'.
'eman'+'a'+'te'='EMANATE'

(Other definitions for emanate that I've seen before include "Proceed or issue forth" , "Emerge or originate" , "spring" , "Rise" , "Give out, emit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
