Slyly shy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coy

'slyly shy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for coy that I've seen before include "Affectedly modest or shy" , "Military team in brief" , "Reserved" , "Pretending to be shy or bashful" , "Group of soldiers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Universal.
