Taciturn, reticent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserved

I believe this is a double definition.

'taciturn' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'reticent' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for reserved that I've seen before include "Quiet, not given to showing emotion" , "Slow to reveal emotion" , "Held back, set aside" , "not forthcoming" , "Booked, being unemotional" .)

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