Settled, sedate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staid

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">settled</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">sedate</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that sedate can be written as staid)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for staid that I've seen before include "Unadventurous, dull" , "Serious or sober in character" , "Dully unadventurous" , "Proper; sedate" , "Conventional (character)" .)

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