I believe the answer is:

hedged

(Other definitions for hedged that I've seen before include "Avoided making a decision or giving a clear answer" , "Avoided giving direct answer, being bounded" , "Acted evasively" , "being naturally guarded" , "Avoided giving direct answer, being fenced?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
