Crossword Genius

Fearless, I unwisely printed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrepid

'fearless' is the definition.
('intrepid' can be a synonym of 'fearless')

'i unwisely printed' is the wordplay.
'unwisely' is an anagram indicator.
'printed' anagrammed gives 'ntrepid'.
'i'+'ntrepid'='INTREPID'

(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "stout" , "'Brave, dauntless (8)'" , "Bold" , "Fearlessly adventurous" , "Undaunted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
