Degree of rage depends on possibility of suffering injury (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

danger

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

'possibility of suffering injury' is the definition.
'danger' can be an answer for 'possibility' (I have seen 'Undesirable possibility' mean 'danger' so perhaps 'possibility' could also mean 'danger'). I'm not certain of the 'of suffering injury' bit.

'degree of rage depends' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'degree' could be 'an' (AN is an example) and 'an' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'on' is the link.
