Turning aside cast in Cold Feet (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deflection

'turning aside' is the definition.
(deflection means turning away)

'cast in cold feet' is the wordplay.
'cast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'in'+'cold'+'feet'='incoldfeet'
'incoldfeet' is an anagram of 'DEFLECTION'.

(Other definitions for deflection that I've seen before include "Deviation" , "Turning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
