Seated strangely in a demure sort of way (6)

I believe the answer is:

sedate

'seated strangely in a demure sort of way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sedate that I've seen before include "Calm, sober" , "Calm or spectral appartition" , "Give calming drug to" , "Calm, unhurried" , "Staid; put to sleep" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
