Ross

I believe the answer is:

dread

'fearful expectation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dread that I've seen before include "Adder (anag)" , "Affright" , "Dared to fear greatly" , "Terrible fear" , "Fear - dire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
