For fear that (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lest

most

(Other definitions for most that I've seen before include "Almost all" , "Greatest in amount or degree" , "Nearly all, majority" , "In the highest degree" , "Extremely, very" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune, The New York Times, the Penny Press, the Universal, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent and the King Feature Syndicate.
