Shy, faint-hearted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

timid

This clue is a double definition.

'shy' is the first definition.
(I know that shy can be written as timid)

'faint-hearted' is the second definition.
(I know that faint-hearted can be written as timid)

(Other definitions for timid that I've seen before include "Not brave" , "Diffident, faint-hearted" , "Not assertive, retiring" , "Easily frightened" , "Bashful or fearful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
