I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wingers in blinder' is the definition.
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.

This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
