Cavil, quibble (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demur

(Other definitions for demur that I've seen before include "Politely disagree" , "Protest or disagree mildly" , "Protest mildly, show reluctance" , "Raise mild objection" , "Hesitate from uncertainty or object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
