Contagious viral disease (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mumps

'contagious viral disease' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mumps that I've seen before include "Infectious glandular disease" , "Complaint" , "Childhood infection" , "Epidemic parotitis" , "harmful disease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Guardian.
