Two men going round for deliverer with address (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orator

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

'address' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'two men going round for deliverer' is the wordplay.
'two' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'men' becomes 'OR' (military abbreviation for other ranks).
'going round' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go around others).
'for deliverer' becomes 'at' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'or' duplicated is 'oror'.
'oror' enclosing 'at' is 'ORATOR'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orator that I've seen before include "A gifted public speaker" , "He lectures" , "One making one across" , "To roar at a speech-maker" , "Eloquent public speaker" .)
