Verbally gets 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. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'round meeting' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (o is a circular letter).
'meeting' becomes 'rally' (I have seen 'Mass meeting ' mean 'rally' so perhaps 'meeting' could also mean 'rally').
'o'+'rally'='ORALLY'

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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