Courtesy, generally of a man towards a woman (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chivalry

(Other definitions for chivalry that I've seen before include "Knightliness" , "Gallantry" , "Almost defunct code of courtesy towards women" , "Knightly conduct" , "Medieval knightly system of honour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
