Trustworthy about having exposure to risk (8)
I believe the answer is:
reliable
'trustworthy' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'about having exposure to risk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'liable' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reliable that I've seen before include "Dependable, honest" , "Can be depended upon, trustworthy" , "Able to be depended on" , "worthy of trust" , "Dependable, can be trusted" .)
