Crossword Genius

British daredevil more vigorous (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brisker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more vigorous' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'british daredevil' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'daredevil' becomes 'risker' (I've seen this in another clue).
'b'+'risker'='BRISKER'

Can you help me to learn more?
