Speaks grandly

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orates

(Other definitions for orates that I've seen before include "Speaks formally, makes speech" , "Speechifies" , "Talks pompously" , "Talks grandly from a platform" , "Makes lengthy or pompous speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
