Start of an incautiousness adage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haste

(Other definitions for haste that I've seen before include "Rash speed" , "The more of it, the less speed sometimes" , "Leader abandons modest" , "''More . . . . ., less speed'' (5)" , "make speed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
