Rapid surprise attack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raid

'rapid surprise attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for raid that I've seen before include "Enter a territory and take spoils" , "Sudden short attack" , "A sudden military attack and withdrawal" , "Sally" , "Inroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
