Crouch in fear (5)

I believe the answer is:

cower

'crouch in fear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cower that I've seen before include "Bend in fear" , "Show abject fear" , "Quail" , "Grovel in fear" , "intimidating person?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Newsday.
