Timid throw (3)
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" .)
