With diffidence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shyly

'with diffidence' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shyly that I've seen before include "In reserved way" , "In a timid manner" , "Nervously, timidly" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
