Relative backtracks on financial gambles for those looking for escapism (10)
I believe the answer is:
adventures
'financial gambles for those looking for escapism' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'relative backtracks on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adventures that I've seen before include "Exploits" , "Risky undertakings" , "exciting experiences?" , "Exciting undertakings" , "Dangerous undertakings" .)
