Ken seems to show humility (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meekness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'humility' is the definition.
(I know that meekness is a type of humility)

'ken seems to' is the wordplay.
'ken seems' anagrams to 'MEEKNESS'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'show' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meekness that I've seen before include "Submissive nature" , "Submissive quality" , "submission" , "Timidity" , "Deference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
