Ross

I believe the answer is:

trepidation

(Other definitions for trepidation that I've seen before include "Fear or agitation about future events" , "Feeling of agitation and fear" , "Fear about something that may happen" , "Uneasy state" , "Feeling of anticipatory fear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
