Apprehensive over sun treatment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nervous

'apprehensive' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'over sun treatment' is the wordplay.
'treatment' indicates anagramming the letters (letters treated or processed differently).
'over'+'sun'='oversun'
'oversun' is an anagram of 'NERVOUS'.

(Other definitions for nervous that I've seen before include "Fidgety" , "Highly strung" , "Feeling or showing anxiety" , "Easily alarmed" , "Jittery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
