Exaggerate unusually daring gaze (10)
I believe the answer is:
aggrandize
'exaggerate' is the definition.
(aggrandizing is a kind of exaggerating)
'unusually daring gaze' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'daring'+'gaze'='daringgaze'
'daringgaze' with letters rearranged gives 'AGGRANDIZE'.
(Another definition for aggrandize that I've seen is " Exaggerate".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
