Cheerful readiness (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alacrity

'cheerful readiness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alacrity that I've seen before include "Enthusiastic speed" , "'Quick, cheerful enthusiasm (8)'" , "Prompt enthusiasm" , "Prompt readiness and briskness" , "Prompt and eager readiness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
