Embarrassed or disconcerted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abashed

This clue is a double definition.

'embarrassed' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'disconcerted' is the second definition.
(abashing is a kind of disconcerting)

(Other definitions for abashed that I've seen before include "Stricken with shame" , "taken aback" , "Embarrassed or discomfited" , "floored" , "Feeling uneasy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
