Shyness (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

reserve

modesty

(Other definitions for modesty that I've seen before include "Humility; decency" , "Diffidence" , "Decorum, shyness" , "Unassumingness" , "Unassuming character" .)

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