Arousal (10)

I believe the answer is:

excitation

'arousal' is the definition.
(I know that excitation is a type of arousal)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for excitation that I've seen is " The production of a higher state of energy".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
