Spate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flood

'spate' is the definition.
(I know that flood is a type of spate)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flood that I've seen before include "Overwhelming amount" , "Deluge" , "lot of water" , "Oversupply" , "swamp" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
