Name epics to be remade with extreme fidelity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

specify

'name' is the definition.
(I know that name is a more specific form of the action specify)

'epics to be remade with extreme fidelity' is the wordplay.
'to be remade with' indicates an anagram.
'extreme' means to remove the middle letters.
'fidelity' with its centre taken out is 'fy'.
'epics' anagrammed with 'fy' can make 'SPECIFY'.

(Other definitions for specify that I've seen before include "Set down as required" , "Spell out" , "Identify clearly and definitely" , "Mention particularly" , "State definitely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
