Pretending modesty (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coy

'pretending modesty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
