Upsetting competition for Perrier is not wise (5)
I believe the answer is:
naive
'wise' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for naive that I've seen before include "Rather too innocent and trusting" , "Ingenous, easy to gull" , "Showing lack of experience or sophistication" , "Simple in style or behaviour" , "Lacking worldly experience" .)
