jeopardy
State of danger
Jeopardy is danger or risk, especially of loss, harm, or failure: The scandal put his career in jeopardy.
The word appears most often in legal contexts—double jeopardy is the constitutional protection against being tried twice for the same crime.
To jeopardize something is to put it at risk.
