'Independent' printed out in bold (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intrepid

'bold' is the definition.
('intrepid' can be similar in meaning to 'bold')

'independent printed out in' is the wordplay.
'independent' becomes 'i'.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'printed' is an anagram of 'intrepd'.
'i' placed within 'intrepd' is 'INTREPID'.

(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "Invulnerable to fear" , "Novel" , "Fearlessly adventurous" , "without fear" , "Bold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
