Daunt; cow
I believe the answer is:
intimidate
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'daunt' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'cow' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for intimidate that I've seen before include "Bully" , "Scare" , "Strike fear into" , "Threaten" , "Frighten" .)
