Crossword Genius

Underwear, extremely daring (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bravery

'daring' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'underwear extremely' is the wordplay.
'underwear' becomes 'bra' (I've seen this before).
'extremely' becomes 'very' (I've seen this before).
'bra'+'very'='BRAVERY'

(Other definitions for bravery that I've seen before include "heroic behaviour" , "daring" , "Courage" , "Courageous quality" , "Valour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
