imperil

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

'put in jeopardy' is the definition.
'imperil' can be an answer for 'jeopardy' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'put in' bit.

'i'm over the danger' is the wordplay.
'over' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'the danger' becomes 'peril' ('peril' can be a synonym of 'danger').
'im'+'peril'='IMPERIL'

'though' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imperil that I've seen before include "Put at risk" , "Endanger" , "Jeopardize" , "Threaten, jeopardise" , "Put in danger" .)
