Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'great moves adventurous' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'great' is 'tearg' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'as' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
