Finish, annoyed, seriously at risk (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endangered

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

'at risk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'finish annoyed seriously' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'annoyed seriously' becomes 'angered' (made angry or annoyed. I am not sure about the 'seriously' bit.).
'end'+'angered'='ENDANGERED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endangered that I've seen before include "in a perilous situation" , "put at risk" , "Vulnerable" , "exposed to risk" , "compromised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
