Playfully shy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coy

'playfully shy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coy that I've seen before include "Pretending to be shy or embarrassed" , "not forthcoming" , "reluctant to divulge information" , "Group of soldiers" , "Reserved" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
