Flinches (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winces

'flinches' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for winces that I've seen before include "Makes involuntary movement from pain or distress" , "'Grimaces, in pain perhaps (6)'" , "'Flinches, cringes (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
