Flourish with a leap (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abound

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

'with a leap' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'leap' becomes 'bound' (bounding is a kind of leaping).
'a' put next to 'bound' is 'ABOUND'.

(Other definitions for abound that I've seen before include "Be plentiful, be present on great quantities" , "Exist in large numbers" , "Be plentiful, proliferate" , "Be plentiful, say fish in river" , "Exist in large quantities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
