Discharge from colossal vocabulary (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salvo

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

'from colossal vocabulary' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'SALVO' can be found hidden inside 'colossal vocabulary'.

(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "concentrated fire" , "Series of shots" , "Burst of rapid fire" , "Simultaneous discharge of fire" , "Several rounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
