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 Independent, the LA Times, The Mirror, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Irish Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune and the Universal.
