Cabin on health resort sounds daring (8)
I believe the answer is:
chutzpah
'sounds daring' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'cabin on health resort' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'cabin' could be 'hut' (both can mean a small building) and 'hut' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chutzpah that I've seen before include "Unbelievable gall; impudence (Yiddish)" , "Slang for shameless cheek or impudence" , "Impertinence" , "Effrontery" , "Self-assurance bordering on audacity" .)
