Acclaim Rolling Stones once they hit the floor? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hail

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'acclaim' is the first definition.
('hail' can be a synonym of 'acclaim')

'rolling stones once they hit the floor?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for hail that I've seen before include "Signal to and summon, say a taxi" , "arrival from the heavens" , "Falling ice pellets" , "Fall of ice" , "a drop of the hard stuff?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
