Affectedly shy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coy

'affectedly shy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun and The New York Times.
