'stops repressing one's annoyance which is hazardous' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'stops repressing one's annoyance' is the wordplay.
'stops' becomes 'ends' ('end' can be a synonym of 'stop').
'repressing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one's annoyance' becomes 'anger' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ends' enclosing 'anger' is 'ENDANGERS'.
