Brave call following positive response from Putin? (6)
I believe the answer is:
daring
'brave' is the definition.
(daring can mean adventurous or courageous)
'call following positive response from putin?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'call' could be 'ring' (telephone call) and 'ring' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'da' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for daring that I've seen before include "Boldly dramatic or unconventional" , "Risque" , "rash" , "A grind (anag.)" , "Derring-do" .)
