Crossword Genius

Called Gran round (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rang

'called' is the definition.
('ring' can be a synonym of 'call')

'gran round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gran' is an anagram of 'RANG'.

(Other definitions for rang that I've seen before include "Made tolling sound or phoned" , "Called" , "Phoned; reverberated" , "(Of bell) sounded" , "Telephoned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
