Send ranger after decapitation in compromise (8)
I believe the answer is:
endanger
'compromise' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endanger that I've seen before include "Threaten" , "Put in harm's way" , "Hazard" , "compromise" , "Pose a threat to" .)
