Crossword Genius

Attorney, embarrassed, with wicked reckless person (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daredevil

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

'attorney embarrassed with wicked' is the wordplay.
'attorney' becomes 'DA' (District Attorney).
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wicked' becomes 'evil' (synonyms).
'da'+'red'+'evil'='DAREDEVIL'

(Other definitions for daredevil that I've seen before include "Dread evil, being a reckless person" , "Seeker after danger" , "Lover of danger" , "Recklessly bold person" , "Madcap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
