Cowered (7)

I believe the answer is:

cringed

'cowered' is the definition.
('cringe' can be a synonym of 'cower')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cringed that I've seen before include "Cowered in fear, shrank back" , "Did cower" , "Recoiled in fear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com and The Telegraph.
