Put in jeopardy and finish up being incensed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endangered

'put in jeopardy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'finish up being incensed' is the wordplay.
'finish up' becomes 'end' (to finish is to come to an end).
'being incensed' becomes 'angered' (I've seen this in another clue).
'end'+'angered'='ENDANGERED'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for endangered that I've seen before include "compromised" , "Put in jeopardy" , "Like some species" , "put at risk" , "in a perilous situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
