Throw short (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shy

I believe this is a double definition.

'throw' is the first definition.
(I know that shy is a type of throw)

'short' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

(Other definitions for shy that I've seen before include "Timid (around people)" , "'Timid, diffident (3)'" , "Reticent" , "Embarrassed in company" , "Tongue-tied" .)

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