Around men, blushes with modesty (10)
I believe the answer is:
humbleness
'modesty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'around men blushes' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'men'+'blushes'='menblushes'
'menblushes' is an anagram of 'HUMBLENESS'.
'with' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
