Shy, timid (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bashful

I believe this is a double definition.

'shy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'timid' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for bashful that I've seen before include "reserved" , "Shy, easily embarrassed" , "Lacking confidence, self-conscious" , "Dwarf" , "Shy and self-conscious" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
