Loss of courage ( Informal ) (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

cold feet

(Other definitions for cold feet that I've seen before include "Feeling of fear - in lower extremities?" , "Apprehensiveness" , "Informal fear - lacking warm socks?" , "Apprehension" , "Lack of courage or confidence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
