Reportedly nailed sensitivity (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tact

'sensitivity' is the definition.
(being tactful is being sensitive)

'reportedly nailed' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'nailed' becomes 'tacked'.
'tacked' sounds like 'TACT'.

(Other definitions for tact that I've seen before include "measure of diplomacy?" , "Consideration in dealing with others" , "Sensitivity, diplomacy" , "Skill in dealing with people" , "Sensitivity (in dealing with others)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
