jeopardising
Putting at stake
Jeopardising is the British spelling of jeopardizing—putting something at risk or in danger of loss or harm.
You jeopardise a relationship by lying, jeopardise your health by smoking, or jeopardise a deal by making unreasonable demands: Leaking the story would jeopardise the entire investigation.
