Widespread outbreak of disease (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epidemic

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for epidemic that I've seen before include "Rash" , "Disease affecting many in a population at the same time" , "Citrus fruit" , "medical emergency" , "Plague" .)

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