Global outbreak (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pandemic

(Other definitions for pandemic that I've seen before include "widely affecting population" , "Global disease" , "Existing everywhere" , "Damn epic about world-wide disease" , "Occurring over a wide area" .)

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