Flee about the present time from hazardous adventure (8)
I believe the answer is:
escapade
'hazardous adventure' is the definition.
'escapade' can be an answer for 'adventure' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'hazardous' bit.
'flee about the present time' is the wordplay.
'flee' becomes 'escape' (escaping is a kind of fleeing).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the present time' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'escape' enclosing 'ad' is 'ESCAPADE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escapade that I've seen before include "A reckless or mischievous adventure" , "Risky adventure" , "quite a lark" , "Daring stunt" , "Adventurous incident" .)
