One would imagine that individual would be brave enough to speak (1,7)
I believe the answer is:
i daresay
'one' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'would imagine that individual would be brave enough to speak' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'would' could be 'd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'd' is found within the answer.
'individual' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'be' could be 'are' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'are' is located in the answer.
'speak' could be 'say' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'say' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for i daresay that I've seen before include "Maybe" , "Methinks it's likely that" , "Probably" .)
