Horrified -- price-tag has torn clothes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aghast

'horrified' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'price-tag has torn clothes' is the wordplay.
'clothes' indicates a hidden word (the letters clothe the hidden word).
'AGHAST' can be found hidden inside 'price tag has torn'.

(Other definitions for aghast that I've seen before include "Filled with fear and consternation" , "Confounded" , "'Horrified, shocked (6)'" , "Shocked, dumbfounded" , "Horror-struck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
