Strait-laced

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prim

'strait-laced' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for prim that I've seen before include "Formally prudish" , "Strait-laced - prudish" , "Stiffly correct" , "Prudishly disapproving" , "Prudish, proper" .)

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