Crossword Genius

Notice groom making speech (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

address

'speech' is the definition.
('address' can be a synonym of 'speech')

'notice groom' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'groom' becomes 'dress' ('dress' can be a synonym of 'groom').
'ad'+'dress'='ADDRESS'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for address that I've seen before include "Form of identification for building" , "Speech - written on an envelope?" , "lecture?" , "Where one lives" , "skilfulness or tact" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
