Increase (7)

Ross

'increase' is the definition.
(escalating is a kind of increasing)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for escalate that I've seen before include "Increase in extent or intensity (8)V" , "mushroom" , "Raise to higher level, perhaps war" , "mount in tension" , "Increase in intensity or extent, like trouble brewing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Irish Independent and the Evening Standard.
