Fear if one's dismissed, correct? (6)
I believe the answer is:
fright
'fear' is the definition.
(I know that fear can be written as fright)
'if one's dismissed correct?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dismissed' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'correct?' becomes 'right' (right can mean correct).
'if' with 'i' removed is 'f'.
'f'+'right'='FRIGHT'
(Other definitions for fright that I've seen before include "Panic" , "Horror" , "A scare or shock" , "Alarming event" , "Sudden feeling of fear" .)
