Fresh, and a bit of a tearaway (3)
I believe the answer is:
raw
'fresh' is the definition.
(raw can mean fresh or new)
'a bit of a tearaway' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RAW' can be found hidden inside 'tearaway'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for raw that I've seen before include "Bleeding" , "Uncooked or unsavoury" , "not manufactured" , "Inexperienced in war (3)" , "Untried (of recruit) - uncooked (of meat)" .)
