More impetuous, having a piece of bacon (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rasher

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

'a piece of bacon' is the definition.
(a rasher is a piece of bacon)

'more impetuous' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'impetuous' could be 'rash' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rash' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rasher that I've seen before include "taking more unnecessary risks?" , "More wildly adventurous" , "Not so safe" , "Thin slice of bacon" , "More imprudent" .)
