A danger developing in the Caribbean (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grenada

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'caribbean' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'a danger developing in' is the wordplay.
'developing' indicates an anagram (letters developed into a new form).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'danger' anagrammed gives 'grenda'.
'a' inserted within 'grenda' is 'GRENADA'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grenada that I've seen before include "Island state in the West Indies" , "Nation" , "commonwealth state" , "A garden (anag) - Caribbean island" , "W, Indies island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
