Cry of fear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eek

'cry of fear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eek that I've seen before include "Alarmed expression" , "Expression of mild fright" , "Expression of surprise" , "fearful cry" , "Yikes! Oo-er!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the L.A. Times Daily and The New York Times.
