Tell later about energy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relate

'tell' is the definition.
(as in to tell or relate a story)

'later about energy' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'later' is an anagram of 'relat'.
'relat'+'e'='RELATE'

(Other definitions for relate that I've seen before include "Tell; a counselling service" , "Show a connection between (things)" , "Tell in Tralee" , "Give a report or show a connection" , "Recount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
