Shyness (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

reserve

modesty

'shyness' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "One on bench" , "Keep back - book" , "Modesty- store" , "Hold back" , "man on bench?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
