Female not left in panic (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fright

'panic' is the definition.
(I know that panic is a kind of terrify)

'female not left' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'not left' becomes 'right' ('right' is the opposite to 'left').
'f'+'right'='FRIGHT'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fright that I've seen before include "Sudden exposure to fear" , "Sudden feeling of fear" , "Terror" , "Grotesque" , "Start" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
