Widen, like a trumpet's bell (5)

I believe the answer is:

flare

(Other definitions for flare that I've seen before include "Burst into sudden activity or anger" , "signalling light" , "Widen out like a bell" , "(Burn with) sudden blaze" , "Warning light" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
