Put at risk, stop rage (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endanger

'put at risk' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'stop rage' is the wordplay.
'stop' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'rage' becomes 'anger' (I've seen this before).
'end'+'anger'='ENDANGER'

(Other definitions for endanger that I've seen before include "Put in jeopardy" , "Jeopardize" , "Put in harm's way" , "Hazard" , "Threaten" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
