Verbally get round meeting (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orally

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

'verbally' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'get round meeting' is the wordplay.
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'meeting' becomes 'rally' (I have seen 'Mass meeting ' mean 'rally' so perhaps 'meeting' could also mean 'rally').
'o' put next to 'rally' is 'ORALLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orally that I've seen before include "given by mouth" , "How one speaks" , "By (word of) mouth" , "given drugs thus?" , "as auditions are done" .)
