Gift yours truly intended without a misgiving (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presentiment

'misgiving' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'gift yours truly intended without a' is the wordplay.
'gift' becomes 'present' (present is a kind of gift).
'yours truly' becomes 'i'.
'intended' becomes 'meant' ('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend').
'without' is a deletion indicator.
'meant' with 'a' removed is 'ment'.
'present'+'i'+'ment'='PRESENTIMENT'

(Other definitions for presentiment that I've seen before include "Feeling of apprehension" , "bad feeling" , "An intuitive feeling" , "Intuitive foreboding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
