Dedicated but possibly scared (6)
I believe the answer is:
sacred
'dedicated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'possibly scared' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'scared' with letters rearranged gives 'SACRED'.
'but' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sacred that I've seen before include "Hallowed, consecrated" , "Like gravestones maybe" , "not to be interfered with?" , "Religious" , "devoted to deity" .)
