Easily frightened (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

timid

'easily frightened' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for timid that I've seen before include "Diffident, faint-hearted" , "Gutless" , "Easily frightened" , "Nervous and easily alarmed" , "Pusillanimous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
