Hold forth (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

orate

spout

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hold forth</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for spout that I've seen before include "Gush" , "Speak in a declamatory way; pipe for liquid" , "Declaim; throw out in a spout" , "Hold forth at length" , "Mouth of a kettle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times and The Sun.
