According to dictionary.com, the noun, "flinch," means, "an act or instance of starting, wincing, or recoiling."

The intransitive verb, "to flinch," means, "1. To start or wince involuntarily, as from surprise or pain."


I meant a flinch - - "an instance of starting," and, "to start involuntarily from surprise."
