Be rich as a result of a leap? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abound

'be rich' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a leap?' is the wordplay.
'leap?' becomes 'bound' ('bound' can be a synonym of 'leap').
'a'+'bound'='ABOUND'

'as a result of' is the link.

(Other definitions for abound that I've seen before include "flow" , "Have riches perhaps" , "Be in plentiful supply" , "grow on trees" , "Be prolific" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
