Threats can seem funny (7)
I believe the answer is:
menaces
'threats' is the definition.
('menace' can be a synonym of 'threat')
'can seem funny' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'seem'='canseem'
'canseem' anagrammed gives 'MENACES'.
(Other definitions for menaces that I've seen before include "Threats" , "Threatens" .)
