State of fear or anxiety (11)

I believe the answer is:

trepidation

(Other definitions for trepidation that I've seen before include "Fear or agitation about future events" , "Fear about something that may happen" , "in fearful state" , "Jitters" , "Apprehension" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
