Jumped up suddenly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprang

(Other definitions for sprang that I've seen before include "Leaped forward" , "Leapt forward" , "Jumped or leaped in single movement (6(" , "released from prison" , "got out of jail" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
