A girl I'd take some risks for (4)
I believe the answer is:
iris
'a girl' is the definition.
(girl's name)
'i'd take some risks for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'iis' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Eye diaphragm" , "- - Murdoch, novelist" , "Flowers in the eye?" , "Pupil's place?" , "plant with showy flowers" .)
