Anxiety of French auditor? (4)
I believe the answer is:
fear
'anxiety' is the definition.
(fear is a kind of anxiety)
'french auditor?' is the wordplay.
'french' becomes 'f'.
'auditor?' becomes 'ear' (I've seen this in other clues).
'f'+'ear'='FEAR'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for fear that I've seen before include "Respect" , "Qualms" , "Be afraid of" , "Apprehension" , "Alarm, reverence" .)
