Showed respect or submission, in a way (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knelt

(Other definitions for knelt that I've seen before include "Assumed position for praying or proposing" , "Bent the knee" , "Used hassock maybe" , "Fell to one's knees" , "... for which one might have done this" .)

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