Sets off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

starts

'sets off' is the definition.
('start' can be a synonym of 'set off')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for starts that I've seen before include "Begins to make sudden surprised movements" , "Begins with surprise reactions?" , "Begins or flinches" , "reacts in surprise" , "Begins - or jumps as with fright" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
