Affected modesty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coyness

'affected modesty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coyness that I've seen before include "evasive quality" , "Affected modesty" , "Pretended modesty" , "Shyness" , "Demureness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
