Thrice-repeated words in one of Gertrude Stein's truisms (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arose

(Other definitions for arose that I've seen before include "Got out of bed" , "''. ... by any other name would smell as sweet'' (Romeo and Juliet)" , "Emerged from" , "Originated (from)" , "Occurred; stood up" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
