Widespread disease (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

epidemic

pandemic

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pandemic that I've seen before include "serious outbreak" , "major disaster" , "Existing everywhere" , "Occurring over a wide area" , "Occurring throughout the world, perhaps disease" .)

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