Parisian who, exceptionally, is somewhat shaky (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quivery

'somewhat shaky' is the definition.
(to quiver is to shake or tremble)

'parisian who exceptionally' is the wordplay.
'parisian who' becomes 'qui' (I've seen this in other clues).
'exceptionally' becomes 'very' (I've seen this in another clue).
'qui'+'very'='QUIVERY'

'is' acts as a link.

(Another definition for quivery that I've seen is " Trembling".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
