Not so bold (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shyer

'not so bold' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shyer that I've seen before include "More bashful" , "More lacking in self-confidence" , "More reserved" , "More timid" , "Not so confident" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
