Scares suddenly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

startles

'scares suddenly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for startles that I've seen before include "Takes by surprise, alarms" , "Shocks from starlets" , "Frightens suddenly" , "Causes to feel sudden alarm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
