Unassuming, self-effacing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

modest

This clue is a double definition.

'unassuming' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'self-effacing' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for modest that I've seen before include "Decorous" , "Not conceited, unassuming" , "Not having or showing pride" , "Unassuming; small" , "Unassuming or decent" .)

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