Put out content of texts sent over day (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put out' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'content of texts sent over day' is the wordplay.
'content of' indicates the central letters.
'sent over' becomes 'en' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
The middle of 'texts' is 'ext'.
'ext'+'en'+'d'='EXTEND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extend that I've seen before include "Reach out, say the hand of friendship" , "Reach out or stretch" , "Spin out" , "Stretch out, say the hand of friendship" , "Carry on" .)
