Irrational fear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phobia

'irrational fear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for phobia that I've seen before include "Pathological fear" , "Obsessive and persistent fear of something" , "Great fear of something" , "A lasting abnormal fear of something" , "Aversion" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times.
