Increased suddenly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surged

'increased suddenly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for surged that I've seen before include "Rushed forward like wave" , "Moved forward like fast wave" , "Rose" , "caused a rush" , "Pushed forward or billowed like wave" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.com.
