I believe the answer is:
evasive
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">avoiding the issue</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for evasive that I've seen before include "Shifty, equivocal" , "Avoiding the issue" , "Avoiding self-revelation" , "Shifty, hard to pin down" , "Tending to avoid commitment" .)
