Speechifies (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orates

'speechifies' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for orates that I've seen before include "Speechifies" , "Speaks formally, makes speech" , "Makes lengthy or pompous speech" , "Talks pompously" , "Talks grandly from a platform" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
