Scruple (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

qualm

'scruple' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for qualm that I've seen before include "Misgiving, pang of conscience" , "Anxiety" , "Sudden feeling of unease or misgiving" , "Uneasiness, doubt" , "Uneasy feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
