Humbly patient or submissive (4)
I believe the answer is:
meek
I believe this is a double definition.
'humbly patient' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'submissive' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for meek that I've seen before include "Humble and mild" , "Humble, unassuming" , "Humble and obedient" , "Patient and easily imposed upon" , "Gentle, timid" .)
