underwrite

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

This could be a double definition.

'subscribe' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'accept the risk' is the second definition.
'underwrite' can be an answer for 'accept' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'the risk' bit.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for underwrite that I've seen before include "Accept liability for" , "Sign" , "Guarantee financially" .)
