Dunce sure to arrange risky loan (9)
I believe the answer is:
unsecured
'risky loan' is the definition.
'unsecured' can be an answer for 'loan' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'risky' bit.
'dunce sure to arrange' is the wordplay.
'to arrange' indicates an anagram.
'dunce'+'sure'='duncesure'
'duncesure' with letters rearranged gives 'UNSECURED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unsecured that I've seen before include "on the loose" , "liable to come off" , "Not locked" .)
