Protrusion (5)

I believe the answer is:

bulge

'protrusion' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bulge that I've seen before include "Protrude" , "surge?" , "Swelling - sudden increase" , "Rounded swelling" , "Swell" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
