Fraidy-cats (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cowards

'fraidy-cats' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cowards that I've seen before include "''Thus conscience doth make ... of us all'' (Hamlet)" , "People lacking courage" , "Shakespeare: ''. . . . . . . die many times before their deaths''" , "they show fear" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
