Bated breath (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anticipation

(Other definitions for anticipation that I've seen before include "Expectation, prediction" , "Looking forward to" , "Foresight" , "Premonition that no one retreats after worker, here in France, joins Patrick" , "Foretaste - expectancy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
