Menaced (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

threatened

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">menaced</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('threaten' can be a synonym of 'menace')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for threatened that I've seen before include "was imminent" , "Facing danger" , "Put at risk, endangered" , "Menaced" , "potentially facing extinction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
