Venturesome

adjective/VEN-cher-sum/

Willing to take risks and try bold, adventurous things.

Being venturesome, she was first to volunteer for the ropes course.

Venturesome is 'venture' plus 'some' — full of the urge to venture into risk.

Use for a bold, risk-taking spirit, a slightly old-fashioned word for adventurous.
