Section in Beckett: it lends play's name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

title

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'play's name' is the definition.
'title' can be an answer for 'name' (eg the name of a book). I'm not sure about the 'play's' bit.

'section in beckett it lends' is the wordplay.
'section' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TITLE' can be found hidden inside 'in beckett it lends'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Lord, sir or doctor, say" , "Right - name - address" , "inscription" , "Sir, or madam" , "established claim to ownership" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
