Call for a rising (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 don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reveille that I've seen before include "Army waking signal" , "Signal to awaken soldiers at daybreak" , "Rousing bugle-call" , "What soldiers get up to" , "Military wake-up call" .)

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