Bloody genius on USA reforms (11)
I believe the answer is:
sanguineous
'bloody' is the definition.
('sanguineous' can be similar in meaning to 'bloody')
'genius on usa reforms' is the wordplay.
'reforms' indicates an anagram.
'genius'+'on'+'usa'='geniusonusa'
'geniusonusa' is an anagram of 'SANGUINEOUS'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
