Develop a translation of Proust (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprout

'develop' is the definition.
(sprouting is a kind of developing)

'a translation of proust' is the wordplay.
'a translation of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'proust' with letters rearranged gives 'SPROUT'.

(Other definitions for sprout that I've seen before include "Grow during stupor" , "Spring up like vegetable from Brussels" , "something for Christmas dinner?" , "Burgeon" , "Begin to develop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
