Act of defiance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dare

'act of defiance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dare that I've seen before include "Be brave enough" , "Risk; challenge" , "Be courageous enough to try or do" , "Challenge to do something foolhardy" , "Take a chance - read about it" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and the Thinks.com.
