endangering

'stop getting annoyed and' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'people at risk' is the wordplay.
'people' becomes 'ing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'risk' becomes 'endanger' (to risk is to put in danger).
'ing' put after 'endanger' is 'ENDANGERING'.

'putting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endangering that I've seen before include "running a risk" , "threatening!" , "Imperilling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
