Etymology
Shy person comes from the verb shy, which we see when a horse suddenly moves away because it is scared, and so the image is of someone who pulls back from things that frighten them. So a shy person means someone who quickly avoids people or attention, which is why we use it to mean 'nervous or timid'.
