Loss of confidence for carrying out some undertaking (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cold feet

(Other definitions for cold feet that I've seen before include "Apprehensiveness" , "Loss of nerve" , "You'd have them if you were afraid to proceed" , "Fear or reluctance due to chilled extremities" , "result of paddling in winter ?" .)

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