Anxiety, dread (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angst

I believe this is a double definition.

'anxiety' is the first definition.
(I know that angst is a type of anxiety)

'dread' is the second definition.
(I know that dread can be written as angst)

(Other definitions for angst that I've seen before include "Oppressive feeling of worry, guilt" , "Acute but unspecified feeling of worry" , "Anguish" , "Extreme anxiety" , "feeling worried?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
