Dead reserved (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stiff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dead' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'reserved' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stiff that I've seen before include "Not easily bent" , "cheat" , "Starched, rigid" , "Inflexible" , "18 [HARD]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
