Chuck is bashful (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shy

I believe this is a double definition.

'chuck' is the first definition.
(both can mean to throw)

'bashful' is the second definition.
(bashful means shy or reserved)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shy that I've seen before include "guarded" , "Nervous or timid in company" , "cast" , "Quick throw" , "Bashful or timid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
