Ken seems to show humility (8)
I believe the answer is:
meekness
'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" .)
