Crossword Genius

Part with the said list (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

role

'part' is the definition.
('role' can be a synonym of 'part')

'the said list' is the wordplay.
'the said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'list' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of list).
'roll' is a homophone of 'ROLE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for role that I've seen before include "Playing part" , "Actor's part" , "Function; part" , "Function in life" , "A part of lore" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
