Formally prudish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prim

'formally prudish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for prim that I've seen before include "Old-maidish" , "Straitlaced and proper" , "Straight-laced" , "Affectedly dainty or refined" , "Schoolmarmish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
