Seated, awfully tranquil (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sedate

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

'seated awfully' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates an anagram.
'seated' is an anagram of 'SEDATE'.

(Other definitions for sedate that I've seen before include "Quiet and dignified" , "Placid" , "Teased into being calm" , "Staid and sober" , "Unhurried; drug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
