Shrinks back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recoils

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">shrinks back</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for recoils that I've seen before include "Staggers back" , "Moves or springs suddenly back, perhaps in fear" , "Flinches" , "Jerks backwards" , "Draws back in disgust" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
