Brilliant success (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclat

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eclat that I've seen before include "Brilliant display -- conspicuous success" , "Brilliance" , "Splendour; renown" , "Enthusiastic approval" , "Showy effect (Fr.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Universal.
