Dismays (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appals

'dismays' is the definition.
('appal' can be a synonym of 'dismay')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for appals that I've seen before include "Fills with disgust" , "Shocks" , "'Horrifies, outrages (6)'" , "Fills with dismay or horror (6)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
