Brilliant effect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclat

'brilliant effect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eclat that I've seen before include "brilliant effort" , "French renown" , "Brilliant display or effect" , "Ostentation" , "Social distinction in France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
