Bring up second seat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spew

'bring up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'second seat' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'seat' becomes 'pew' (pew is a kind of seat).
's'+'pew'='SPEW'

(Other definitions for spew that I've seen before include "Fetch up" , "bring it up" , "issue" , "Gush forth, vomit" , "Casst out in a stream" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
