Threatened (7)

I believe the answer is:

menaced

'threatened' is the definition.
('menace' can be a synonym of 'threaten')

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for menaced that I've seen is " Threatened".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
