Daring, in a way (4)
I believe the answer is:
edgy
'daring in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for edgy that I've seen before include "Jittery" , "ready to flap?" , "In a tense state" , "Overstrung" , "Nervous and tense, irritable" .)
