Make anxious (7)

I think it could be either:

disturb

perturb

'make anxious' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for perturb that I've seen before include "Disturb the composure of" , "Disconcert" , "Opera star" , "Unsettle, make anxious" , "Make unsettled" .)

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