Wince (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

cringe

flinch

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">wince</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for flinch that I've seen before include "Draw back, with fear or pain" , "Wince or draw back in fear" , "Shy away" , "Shrink back with fear" , "Shrink back (out of pain/fear)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Independent.
