Reference some Gaelic item (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cite

'reference' is the definition.
(to cite is to mention or quote)

'some gaelic item' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'CITE' is hidden within 'gaelic item'.

(Other definitions for cite that I've seen before include "Quote (a reference)" , "Quote (an author)" , "Quote as an example or in support" , "for instance" , "Summon - quote" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
