Pangs of conscience (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guilt

(Other definitions for guilt that I've seen before include "Bad conscience" , "The fact of having done wrong" , "uncomfortable feeling" , "Consciousness of one's wrongdoing" , "Feeling of culpability" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
