Compromise and put a stop to bad temper (8)
I believe the answer is:
endanger
'compromise' is the definition.
(I know that compromise is a more specific form of the action endanger)
'put a stop to bad temper' is the wordplay.
'put a stop to' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bad temper' becomes 'anger' (I am not sure about the 'bad' bit.).
'end'+'anger'='ENDANGER'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endanger that I've seen before include "Dan Green (anag.)" , "Jeopardize" , "To put one at risk" , "Place into peril, jeopardise" , "Pose a threat to" .)
