Almost put out admitting temper is reckless (9)
I believe the answer is:
dangerous
'reckless' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'almost put out admitting temper' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'temper' could be 'anger' and 'anger' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dangerous that I've seen before include "High-risk" , "Perilous, unsafe" , "likely to blow up" , "Pope: 'A little learning is a . . . . . . . . . thing'" , "Hazardous" .)
