Chivalrous (7)
I believe the answer is:
gallant
'chivalrous' is the definition.
(I know that chivalrous can be written as gallant)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gallant that I've seen before include "lover" , "Dashing, debonair young man" , "Chivalrous - dashing" , "Brave and honourable" , "Daring" .)
