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

'recording includes quiet knight returning' is the wordplay.
'recording' becomes 'entering' (enter can mean to enter into a record).
'includes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'quiet knight' becomes 'sirp' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'sirp' written backwards gives 'pris'.
'entering' placed around 'pris' is 'ENTERPRISING'.
