The word "procacious" means bold, daring or audacious. Its antonyms are "shy," "timid," "diffident," "reserved," and "coy." Shy means retiring, retiring or apprehensive and is seen as the opposite of procacious, which represents a bold and daring attitude. Timid means lacking courage or self-assurance, and is the opposite of being bold enough to take risks or be audacious as in the case of procacious. Reserved implies being withdrawn, restrained, or not inclined to communicate too much thus standing in contrast to procacious' propensity to be bold and direct. Coy has the same sense of reluctance and hesitation in action as the other antonyms of procacious, which means that the opposite of procacious is not one of aggression but one of reservation and caution.
