Blows up (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

explodes

'blows up' is the definition.
('explode' can be a synonym of 'blow up')

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for explodes that I've seen is " Bursts out violently".)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Evening Standard.
