Shrink one who intimidates? (5)

I believe the answer is:

cower

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'shrink' is the first definition.
(shrink can mean to cower from something)

'one who intimidates?' is the second definition.
(someone who cows or bullies others)

(Other definitions for cower that I've seen before include "intimidating person?" , "Crouch in fear" , "Bend in fear" , "Grovel in fear" , "Shrink back in fear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
