Call for a rise (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reveille

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'call' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Early call' mean 'reveille' so perhaps 'call' could also mean 'reveille')

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reveille that I've seen before include "Morning call" , "Soldiers' wakening call" , "The wake-up army bugle call" , "Army waking signal" , "Military waking signal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
