Pent-up worry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angst

(Other definitions for angst that I've seen before include "Philosophical unease" , "Extreme anxiety" , "Anxiety, guilty feeling" , "Acute, but unspecific, feeling of anxiety" , "Nonspecific sense of anxiety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
