Rouses (7)

I think it could be either:

awakens

bestirs

'rouses' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for awakens that I've seen before include "Arouses" , "Sparks" , "Rouses (from sleep)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
