Widespread disease (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

epidemic

pandemic

'widespread disease' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for epidemic that I've seen before include "medical emergency" , "Widespread occurrence of a disease" , "Disease affecting many in a population at the same time" , "lot of disease" , "eruption" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Sun, the Evening Standard, The Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
