Sudden involuntary movement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spasm

'sudden involuntary movement' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spasm that I've seen before include "Muscular convulsion" , "Involuntary muscular contraction" , "Convulsive action" , "Sudden involuntary contraction of a muscle" , "Jerk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
