Reticence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserve

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">reticence</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "keep for oneself" , "Twelfth man < 's coolness" , "Keep for someone - spare bod" , "One on bench" , "Modesty- store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Evening Standard.
