Horrified, shocked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aghast

This clue is a double definition.

'horrified' is the first definition.
(I know that horrified can be written as aghast)

'shocked' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for aghast that I've seen before include "Horror-stricken, filled with consternation" , "Amazed" , "Horror-struck" , "What's carried in bag has teacher" , "Horrified, filled iwth consternation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
