Rattled with a flurry of hooks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shook

'rattled' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a flurry of hooks' is the wordplay.
'a flurry of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'flurried' mean this).
'hooks' with letters rearranged gives 'SHOOK'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shook that I've seen before include "Shivered" , "Rocked" , "Trembled, vibrated" .)
