Danger Man 's back, a light touch around half-nine? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riskiness

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

'danger' is the definition.
(riskiness is a kind of danger)

'man 's back a light touch around half-nine?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'kin' and 'kin' is found in the answer.
''s' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for riskiness that I've seen is " Level of danger".)
