Wrath in the midst of dangers (5)
I believe the answer is:
anger
'wrath' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'midst of dangers' is the wordplay.
'midst of' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle letters of 'dangers' are 'ANGER'.
'in the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for anger that I've seen before include "Strong displeasure" , "Wrath; annoy" , "Feeling of vexation" , "Spleen" , "Great annoyance" .)
