Existential emotion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angst

(Other definitions for angst that I've seen before include "Philosophical unease" , "Stang (anag)" , "Terrible butterflies" , "Nonspecific sense of anxiety" , "Profound feeling of anxiety or dread" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
