Taken by surprise (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

startled

'taken by surprise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
