React to a shock (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reel

'react to a shock' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reel that I've seen before include "Turn around in the dance" , "Dance; winding cylinder" , "Totter" , "Move unsteadily (like a Scottish dancer?)" , "Stagger about in lively dance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the LA Times, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the Wall Street Journal.
