Somewhat or mildly adventurous; having a slight quality of adventure or risk-taking.
From 'adventure' + '-ish' (Old English suffix meaning 'somewhat' or 'having the quality of'). The '-ish' suffix softens or moderates the meaning of a word, as in 'reddish' (somewhat red) or 'youngish' (somewhat young).
The '-ish' suffix is perfect for expressing uncertainty or approximation—'pinkish,' 'tallish,' 'suspicious-ish.' English speakers use it constantly in speech to be vague or modest, but it's considered too informal for formal writing, which shows how English has different 'registers' or levels of formality.
