Danger or jeopardy (5)

I believe the answer is:

peril

I believe this is a double definition.

'danger' is the first definition.
(peril is a kind of danger)

'jeopardy' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for peril that I've seen before include "Danger, jeopardy" , "Danger, hazard" , "Danger of serious kind" , "Exposure to harm" , "Great danger" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
