Horrified! Part of bag has torn! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aghast

'horrified' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'part of bag has torn' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'AGHAST' is hidden within 'bag has torn'.

(Other definitions for aghast that I've seen before include "Horrified, filled iwth consternation" , "Filled with consternation or horror" , "Shocked, dumbfounded" , "Appalled, shocked" , "Stunned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
