Being afraid, shaking a finger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fearing

'being afraid' is the definition.

'shaking a finger' is the wordplay.
'shaking' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'finger'='afinger'
'afinger' is an anagram of 'FEARING'.

(Other definitions for fearing that I've seen before include "Nervous" , "Dreading" , "Worried about" .)
