Unexpected event (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surprise

'unexpected event' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for surprise that I've seen before include "One of spelt out words" , "Sudden unexpected event" , "Bombshell" , "Take unawares" , "Unexpected thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
