Sudden power increase (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surge

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for surge that I've seen before include "Rapidly rising water" , "Sudden upward movement" , "Sudden push forward" , "Rapid increase; powerful movement" , "Eddy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
