Confused senior happens to have misgivings (13)

I believe the answer is:

apprehensions

'misgivings' is the definition.
('apprehension' can be a synonym of 'misgiving')

'confused senior happens' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'senior'+'happens'='seniorhappens'
'seniorhappens' is an anagram of 'APPREHENSIONS'.

'to have' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
