Minatory (11)

I believe the answer is:

threatening

'minatory' is the definition.
(I know that minatory can be written as threatening)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for threatening that I've seen before include "Minatory" , "giving a warning for the future" , "Dangerous" , "Scary" , "Putting at risk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
