Cower (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cringe

'cower' is the definition.
(I know that cower can be written as cringe)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cringe that I've seen before include "Crouch" , "Start" , "Cower in fear or disgust" , "quail" , "Shrink away in fear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Mirror, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
