Pinter dissected in papers: that's daring (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrepid

'that's daring' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pinter dissected in papers' is the wordplay.
'dissected' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identification papers).
'pinter' anagrammed gives 'ntrepi'.
'ntrepi' going into 'id' is 'INTREPID'.

(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "Invulnerable to fear" , "stout" , "Unfearing" , "Fearless, adventurous" , "Brave and fearless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
