Timid throw (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shy

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'timid' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'throw' is the second definition.
(shy is a kind of throw)

(Other definitions for shy that I've seen before include "Chary" , "Fling or throw" , "Timid and self-conscious" , "Pitch" , "Reserved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
