I believe the answer is:

startled

'surprised suddenly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for startled that I've seen before include "Shocked, alarmed" , "Taken by surprise" , "Frightened or surprised suddenly" , "Suddenly alarmed" , "Surprised with fright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
