I believe the answer is:

coy

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">affectedly shy</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for coy that I've seen before include "Pretending modesty" , "Pretending to be shy or embarrassed" , "Pretending shyness" , "Reserved" , "Military team in brief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Sydney Morning Herald and The New York Times.
