deathtrap

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

'very dangerous' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hated change bit upsetting' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'bit' becomes 'part' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'upsetting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'part' in reverse letter order is 'trap'.
'hated' is an anagram of 'death'.
'death'+'trap'='DEATHTRAP'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
