Rush round place in unrestrained bout of extravagance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splurge

'unrestrained bout of extravagance' is the definition.

'rush round place' is the wordplay.
'rush' becomes 'surge' ('surge' can be a synonym of 'rush').
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues).
'surge' going around 'pl' is 'SPLURGE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for splurge that I've seen before include "Spend money freely, be extravagant" , "Spend a lot" , "Squander" , "Binge, fling" , "Splash out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
