Calls for or asks round (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

invites

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'calls for' is the first definition.
('invite' can be a synonym of 'call for')

'asks round' is the second definition.
('invite' can be a synonym of 'ask round')

(Other definitions for invites that I've seen before include "Requests the presence of" , "Asks" , "Solicits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
