Swell bugle two exchanged (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'swell' is the definition.
(bulging is a kind of swelling)

'bugle two exchanged' is the wordplay.
'bugle' anagrams to 'BULGE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulge that I've seen before include "Swell" , "Protrusion" , "Swelling - sudden increase" , "Hump" , "surge?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
