Appalled (6)

I believe the answer is:

aghast

'appalled' is the definition.
(I know that appalled can be written as aghast)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aghast that I've seen before include "Horror-stricken, filled with consternation" , "struck with fear" , "Horrified, appalled" , "Deeply dismayed" , "Filled with terror" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Star Tribune, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, The Sun, the Evening Standard, the Universal and The Washington Post.
