Polite, courteous (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

civil

I believe this is a double definition.

'polite' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'courteous' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for civil that I've seen before include "Urbane" , "Not rude" , "Relating to citizens" , "Courteous, polite" , "Courteously polite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
