Proclaim one-time fortune turning up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extol

'proclaim' is the definition.
('extol' can be a synonym of 'proclaim')

'one-time fortune turning up' is the wordplay.
'one-time' becomes 'ex'.
'fortune' becomes 'lot' ('lot' can be a synonym of 'fortune').
'turning up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'lot' in reverse letter order is 'tol'.
'ex'+'tol'='EXTOL'

(Other definitions for extol that I've seen before include "Lift up" , "celebrate" , "Acclaim" , "Lavishly praise" , "Praise highly, laud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
