Proper partner? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prim

'proper partner?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for prim that I've seen before include "Stiffly correct" , "Formally prudish" , "Proper (type of rose?)" , "Prudishly disapproving" , "Old-maidish" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
