Reckless Laurel to do this often? (9)

I believe the answer is:

foolhardy

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

'reckless' is the definition.
(I know that reckless can be written as foolhardy)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foolhardy that I've seen before include "Rash - incautious" , "daredevil" , "Hot-headed" , "Dry loofah for quality of rashness" , "Impulsive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
