I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fear' is the definition.
(I know that dismay is a type of fear)

'DISMAY' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dismay that I've seen before include "Consternation, distress" , "Consternation, disheartenment" , "Concern and distress at something unexpected" , "Affright" , "Horrified amazement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
