Sudden outburst (5-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flare-up

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flare-up that I've seen before include "Burst into flames" , "Sudden outbreak (of violence, etc)" , "Suddenly get angry" , "Explosion of emotion" , "Suddenly burn brightly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
