Was taken aback (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reeled

'was taken aback' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for reeled that I've seen before include "Staggered or tottered" , "Felt giddy, staggered" , "Wound up" , "Staggered - having done Irish dance?" , "swam around" .)

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