Had the nerve (to) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dared

'had the nerve to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dared that I've seen before include "Ventured" , "Made bold" , "Defied, challenged" , "Had the courage (to do something)" , "Goaded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Newsday.
